100% Semillion. Tastes a bit like an aged beer. Extremely satisfying color — 3 years ago
2018 vintage. 100% Merlot from this estate in Lalande de Fronsac, named after Valandraud owner Jean-Luc Thunevin's daughter. Another sexy Bordeaux value. Good concentration, ripe fruit, ripe tannin and good acidity. A little alcohol heat in the finish prevents it from a higher score, but very good value at less than 10 euros. — 4 years ago

From Ets Martin 2018 on 12/19/2021. Excellent winter white. Peach up front; blanched almonds — no macadamia— mid palate, and celery finish. Laura points out high alcohol for a white, in order to get around certain tariffs. Don’t taste the hotness of high alcohol, however. It does go to one’s head. — 3 years ago
From Dec 2019 Ets Martin shipment, had 2016 on 4/30/2021. Red plum, maraschino cherry, battery smell, smoke, iodine. Low tannin. Muscular not plush. Finish moves quickly to a cedary flatness. — 4 years ago
