Chateau de Valandraud Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1999

Ed Lehrman

Pretty good at 24 years old. Still in mid-life, solid res fruit, underlying Brett (not a problem for me), and easy drinking. But this wine got major hype way back when and prices soared. PR better than the quality.

Another brett bomb at The RRV Paulee, but very fun to try all of these wines. Wish I liked brettanomyces more.

Fantastic Bordeaux.

Surprise of the year. Still fresh black fruit, mushroom earthy, green pepper, balanced acidity, sweet integrated tannin a tad dry, long finish that lingers.

Rich, dark, smooth but leathery texture......quintessential St. Emilion
