Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 29, 2022 - Scoring at the top of the range, this is a majestic vintage of Valandraud that is packed and stacked with waves of inky, purple colored, black cherries, plums, mint, espresso, cocoa, licorice, flowers and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, rich, intense, opulent, complex and with a fruit-filled, velvet-textured, non-stop finish, this is already a treat in your glass. Drink from 2026-2055.

4/1/2022 2:43:00 AM - hi Jeff, thanks again for great reviews on 2019 vintage. Still waiting for my primeurs to arrive, but seems they are worth waiting. Still pondering whether or not to try any of them during this year or try to store them in cellar for years to come. Majority of my Bordeaux's are from 2016, 2018 and 2019. Any general hint on their drinking window and the best way to avoid the closed phase with those?
