Château Leydet-Valentin  (Saint-Émilion Grand Cru)
91
Soft, supple, ripe, round, and polished, there is quite a bit of oak needing to better integrate here. The wine has promise and a lot of polish, but it needs a bit of time to better come together. The wine is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2035.

Licorice, chocolate, espresso, and red pit fruits are all over the place here. Soft, plush, and polished, the layers of chocolatey fruit in the mid-palate, and finish keep on going. Drink from 2025-2038.

Black cherries, flowers, blueberries and a bead of espresso shows on the nose and on the silky, fresh, palate. The finish, with its ripe, lush plums and sweet cherries with their touch of cocoa hits the spot too. Drink from 2023-2040.

Roasted black and red fruits with smoke, flowers and espresso on the nose and palate. The wine is savory, earthy, fresh, lush and gritty, with a cool savory touch to the espresso-tinged, ripe, red fruits in the finish. 90-92 Pts

Medium-bodied, soft, silky and fresh with a savory edge to the sweet, ripe red fruits. This will be perfect for near-term pleasure. Drink from 2022-2029.

With a nice sense of minerality, round, dark red pit fruits and leafy nuances, the wine is smoky with a tinge of bitter chocolate and dark red fruits on the palate. 88-90 Pts

Blending 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc produced a floral, fresh, spicy, roasted cherry filled wine with a plush, silky, dark plum finish.
