“Two of the best efforts I have tasted from Jean-Luc Thunevin, the 2010 Virginie de Valandraud (A 2,500-case blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc) has loads of chocolaty black raspberry fruit intermixed with some currants, crushed rock, subtle smoke and white chocolate. This is a sexy, up-front beauty to drink over the next 10-15 years..”
