The 2019 3 de Valandraud is a supple, fruity wine to drink young. Dark fruit, chocolate, licorice and
spice come together in a pliant, supple and nicely expressive wine that should drink well right out of
the gate.
Antonio Galloni
___________
The 2019 3 de Valandraud has a ripe red berry, cola and mint scented bouquet that is only too willing
to please. The palate is well defined with sharper tannins than expected, a very fine line of acidity and
a judicious touch of spice on the finish that is more classic than the nose augurs. Great effort for a third
wine.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 No 3 de Valandraud reveals a good intensity of warm
plums, mulberries, and fruitcake scents on the nose with hints of garrigue, tar and unsmoked cigars.
Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing and well-constructed with a pleasant suggestion of chewiness
on the savory finish.
James Suckling 93 Points
This is a relatively dense third wine from Valandraud with dark-chocolate, ripe-fruit, and walnut
character. Full body, firm and structured tannins and a flavorful finish. Direct and nicely concentrated.
