Vieux Château Certan
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
A pretty nose with soft mature plummy fruit, dried cherries, a gentle bloodiness. The palate has good fully mature fruit but a slightly tart and drying finish.... this improved a lot on the finish with food. Supple and quite generous. Good!

Dec 10th, 2016From magnum and more youthful than expected. Still great fruit and just starting to develop the more earthy, leathery notes. Tasty now but could get even better
