Vieux Château Certan Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

$429

...Dense purple-colored , the 2010 displays a vivid yet astonishing array of spice box, red, blue and black fruits, crushed rock and spring flowers. The oak is well-concealed behind the lavish concentration and richness. Exceptionally pure, this unbelievable wine flirts with perfection. Unfortunately, there is 20% less of it than in 2009... This is another 40- to 50-year effort in 2010 that should elicit considerable interest from wine consumers. Robert Parker

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

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