Good wine, but probably not good QPR. No decant, nose of cassis, blueberries, blackberry, licorice, plums, cedar and herbs. Palate is medium bodied, tannins are still present but not harsh, fine acidity to balance sweet black and blue fruit. Medium finish.

Valandraud 3 de Valandruad While the name 3 de Valandruad implies this is the third wine of Valandraud, it’s actually the second wine of Valandraud. The name comes from an inside joke of Jean Luc Thunevin. Ripe dark berries, licorice, supple textures, sweet black raspberry and an anise filled finish are the signatures of this wine. 89-91 Pts
