Valade St-Emilion Grand Cru 2020 - Valade

Pirmin Bilger: That is Valade of the sensual and seductive kind. As it smells so delicious out of a glass, you can hardly wait to try it. Here we have the wonderful maturity of the vintage with an indescribably dense character and variety of fruit aromas. Black and red fruit notes. The brilliant freshness that the wine radiates goes hand in hand with it. It gives delicate depth and fascinating lightness. Everything looks absolutely precisely vinified and is of breathtaking clarity. A palate to kneel down. Start with a rich burst of fruit, supported by delicious extract sweetness. This is when the acidity comes out more and more, which makes the Valade so wonderfully juicy. There is freshness, power, density and power — everything is in perfect harmony. The tannins are also of excellent quality and, with their creamy and fine characteristics, fit perfectly into the overall picture. With astonishing length and a delicately spicy finish, this tremendous wine experience comes to an end. A Valade at its best.
