Rouge foncé, pas d'indice de vieillissement à l'oeil. Fruits rouges frais au nez, avec un peu de sous bois mais sans trop de caractère "vieilli". Rond en bouche, tanins moy+, acidité moy, longueur moy, fruits rouges et noirs confits. Parait encore jeune, peut attendre plusieurs années.

At Emirates lounge. Still a fairly dark garnet. A serious wine with dark almost austere fruit, some tannins are still there but the wine is drinking well now. Short to medium finish. An impressive effort for what must be the 3rd wine of Valandraud. 90 A second, warmer glass a few days later at the same lounge seems softer and more open, with the Merlot coming through stronger. Perhaps from a bottle that had been opened for longer. Still a very nice wine. 89.

Vraiment excellent. L'intégration est en cours et donne l'impression que l'attente ne pourra que l'améliorer.
