2000 Chateau Valandraud Rating: 93 points
Producer: Chateau Valandraud From: St Emilion, Bordeaux,France
Variety: Bordeaux Blend (a dry red table wine)
Drink: 2008-2019 Source: Wine Advocate #146 (Apr 2003)
"Jean-Luc Thunevin tends to be humble when he talks about his 2000, as if there were something wrong with it. Well, it is a spectacular wine, and having tasted it three times from bottle, I am in love with it. Dense purple-colored, with a glorious nose of espresso, cocoa, chocolate, plum, black currant, and cherry, offering a true smorgasbord of heavenly delights, this medium to full-bodied wine still shows some relatively firm tannin, but the low acidity, layered, multi-textured mouthfeel, and tremendous purity are hallmarks of the Thunevin winemaking style. However, this might be one Valandraud that actually needs 3-5 years of cellaring prior to drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019." —Robert Parker
