Vieux Château Certan is a distinguished wine estate located within the Pomerol appellation, covering approximately 14 hectares. A significant portion of the vines boasts an impressive age, with some dating back to 1932. This particular offering is their Grand Vin from the 1990 vintage, which appears to have reached its zenith. On the nose, expect red fruits and evolving tertiary notes of cigar complemented by freshly cut grass. Tipping towards sweetness, the palate presents a fruit profile dominated by red and black currants along with cherries.
