One of the biggest, richest wines in the vintage, the 2001 Château Valandraud is now fully mature yet brings incredible depth and richness. Sweet black fruits, chocolate, spice, flowery incense, and tobacco notes are just some of its nuances, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and incredible length on the finish. Hats off to the team of Murielle Andraud and Jean-Luc Thunevin for another sensational wine. While fully mature, it's going to change dramatically over the coming decade or so and should have a gradual decline. This opulent, sexy, majestic 2001 is something to behold.
