VALANDRAUD [ST EMILION] 2003 750ML

93 Points! Robert Parker ...The inspirational spirit for Bordeaux's garagiste movement is Valandraud. The 2003 is a full-bodied, powerful St.-Emilion offering up notes of espresso roast, chocolate, sweet currants, cherries, and hints of minerals as well as cedar. Expressive and pure with copious tannins lurking behind the cascade of fruit and glycerin, this wine requires 2-4 years of bottle age and should drink well for two decades or more.

80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc
