2010 Château Valandraud:
Deep ruby. Cassis, blueberries, vanilla, intense nose, deep and fruity. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fruity, bit biting texture, sweet at 15% alcohol, but at tjis very fruity stage it seems to balance more or less, not so shure when it settles down in a few years. 93 for now.
