The 2010 Vieux Château Certan has a more modern bouquet compared to its peers. There is plenty of high quality new oak that slightly masks the fruit, although it does not overwhelm and should be completely subsumed with bottle age. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. This is very well balanced, though I would have liked a little more substance and grip on the finish. Very fine and classy, but maybe it could have been better? Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. (Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2020)

Little earthy, meaty nose with a high toned palate of ripe black fruit

Commanderie de Bordeaux. Theme was BBQ and 2010 vintage. Fantastic event. One of those once in a lifetime wines. Simply sublime

Loved it! First glass was amazing - velvet, floral, and. feminine. Opened up nicely became more a little more acidic/tannic

Oooooh...early on one of favorite producers. Hope you have more for 20-30 years down the road. It will be sooooooo worth it.
