Chateau de Valandraud Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
...impeccable attention to detail, resulting in an inky/blue/purple-colored 2005 Valandraud boasting a sweet nose of melted chocolate, licorice, graphite, espresso roast, and copious quantities of black cherries and blackberries. Pure, layered, and full-bodied, with gorgeous integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol, and wood, this stunning effort will be drinkable in 7-8 years, and should keep for three decades...

Blackberry, blueberry, mint and black tea aromas and flavors. Intense mineral hints. Long and beautiful aftertaste.

Put a hurt on the 05 Montrose next to it. Much better than bottle a year or so ago. Great stuff.
