Dark cherry and graphite emerge with earthy complexity and herbal undertones. The palate shows impressive elegance for this difficult year, with refined tannins that feel polished rather than austere. Cedar and mineral notes persist through a graceful finish. Drinking well now with potential to develop further.

Vieux Château Certan

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.
