Château Valandraud 2004, from the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation, exhibits a deep garnet color with slightly evolved tones.

This vintage reveals complex aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, with subtle notes of tobacco, cocoa, and soft spices. On the palate, the wine is well-structured with smooth tannins and balanced acidity, providing a refreshing character despite its age.

The finish is long, with hints of vanilla and cedar from oak aging. The 2004 vintage is at its peak maturity and can be enjoyed now, but it still has a few more years of aging potential.
