"More than any other St.Emilion property,Valandraud has become the micro-treasure sought by billionaire wine collectors around the world.
The 1995 ranks with the finest wines proprietor Jean-Luc Thunevin has produced since his debut vintage in 1991.The wine exhibits an opaque purple color and a sensational nose of roasted herbs,black fruits (cherries,currants,and blackberries),and a high=class toasty oak (the latter component is more of a nuance,than a dominant characteristic).Very concentrated,with layers of fruit,glycerin,and extract,yet seamlessly constructed,this wine continues the stuff of greatness and appears to be the finest Valandraud yet produced.The finish lasts for over 30 seconds.The wine's high tannin is barely noticeable,because of the ripeness and richness of fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020.Last tasted,November 1997".

A more recent tasting note from a vertical tasting of Chateau Valandraud by "The Wine Cellar Insider":-
"Filled with smoke,spice,truffle,crushed rock,dark plum and licorice-coated blackberries with Cuban cigar tobacco,this opulent,energetic,sensuous wine coats your palate with an abundance of sweet black cherry and bitter chocolate.The wine kept improving in the glass for close to 2 hours.It might have kept on improving,but I could not resist and finished it all.This is one of the top wines from 1995 from either bank".
