Vieux Château Certan 2004 is a mature-vintage Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. 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 stunning blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc boasts a dense ruby/purple colour along with a big, sweet bouquet of black cherries, liquorice, roasted herbs, smoke, and cassis. Elegant, medium to full-bodied, pure flavours reveal moderately high tannin, but superb concentration and richness. Vieux Chateau Certan should be one of the longer-lived and most complex wines of the vintage." Wine Advocate, 2007
