2010 Vieux Château Certan, Grand Vin, Pomerol

The 2010 Vieux Château Certan is pure Pomerol poetry—velvety layers of black cherry, graphite, and cigar box glide across a frame of polished tannins and fine acidity. There’s both grandeur and grace here, like a velvet glove with a steel core. It's the kind of wine that reminds you why Pomerol, when it gets it right, needs no classification at all.
