Vieux Château Certan 2005
Red
Pomerol, France
8.1
WineSaint
Dark cherry and lavender build with graphite and cedar undertones. The palate shows impressive weight despite medium body, with firm tannins carrying savory, earthy complexity through a long finish. Classic Pomerol character with the vintage's signature power held in check by elegant restraint.

→One of Pomerol's oldest and most respected estates, Vieux Château Certan sits at the plateau's heart and has long distinguished itself by leaning harder on Cabernet Franc than most of its neighbours.
