Monday, December 4, 2023 - Valandrau vertical (1991-2020) (Fribourg): Selected tasting notes from a complete Valandraud vertical (1991-2020) hosted by a collector with an estate representative. Main observation was that both the work the estate did during the transition phase 2000-2012 is clearly bearing fruit in more recent vintages, further helped by warmer growing seasons that are favorable for this cool site in St Emillon. Additional comments included in the tasting story.
 
Tasting note:
This was decanted. Red cherry fruit coupled with raspberry and sweet sugar-coated candy elements. Also dried leaves, a mineral layer of graphite and fine cedar wood. Fresh and linear acidity, firm but ripe tannin, nice presence and good length.
