Château Valandraud, Saint-Emilion, 2021, 75cl MASTER_2233 grainy frame with lovely freshnessThe 2021 Valandraud offers up aromas of minty berries framed by a generous application of creamy new oak. Medium to full bodied, with a creamy attack that segues into a mid palate built around chalky barrel tannins, it concludes with a vanillin inflected and discreetly herbal finish. This showed more harmoniously en primeur than in bottle. William Kelley, Wine Advocate
