Refined plummy fruit. Pretty. A little more right now. Needs time.

VCC is my favourite Pomerol & @ £130 this shows how great an “off” vintage can be 👍 Awesome now & still keeps improving!

📍 Vieux Château Certan 2006

🏵 95-96 points

🍇 83% Merlot & 17% Cabernet Franc

🍷 Deep rich ruby

👃 Soft oaky smokey spiced dark plum & cherry in damp earth, prune, vanilla, liquorice, red currant, minerals, gravel & dark mocha w/ a blackcurrant tickle - divine nasal nymph 😎

👄 Med creamy silky smooth body of chewy spiced plum & blackcurrant in liquorice & mocha w/ a dark cherry compote touch

🎯 Long stewed dark plummy fruit earthy mocha dark berry/cherry chocy cake linger

2005; really elegant, with pretty red fruit and cedar aromas. In its wheelhouse now. Drink@over the next 5-7 years.
