The 2008 Vieux Château Certan was cropped at 34hl/ha and contains more Cabernets compared to other vintages. Their contribution is tangible on the nose: pencil shavings and tertiary scents are pretty potent and lend it a Left Bank allure. The palate is fresh and vibrant with grainy tannins, graphite-driven, fresh and tensile with a persistent finish. Certainly, one of the best Pomerols in this challenging growing season, VCC at its most Médoc. Tasted at the VCC vertical in Etikhove, Belgium. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2204)

Pomerol, Vieux Chateau Certan, 2008: generous fruit, silky tannins. Goes on and on. Compared it to Le Pin side by side. Certan outshines Le Pin by more than a whisker!!!

Gorgeous nose, still fresh and vibrant. While developing, this will be incredible in 4-5 years.
