Vieux Château Certan Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2010
The 2010 is a ripe, tannic balanced wine with amazing fruit and wonderful acidity. The Merlot is dense, vinous, suave and opulent while the Cabernet Franc is lace-like in texture, ripe, complex, and flavorful as it lingers on the palate. The Cabernet Sauvignon blends beautiful with both the Merlot and the Cabernet Franc as it is lively and savory and provides a necessary freshness.

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

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