Vieux Château Certan 2010 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Situated in the prestigious Pomerol appellation, Vieux Château Certan covers approximately 14 hectares and is one of the largest single-block sites on the Right Bank. Recognised as one of the finest wines in the region, its Grand Vin is often highly scored by influential wine critics. "The 2010 Vieux Château Certan is deep garnet in colour, and—POW—the nose opens as a complete spice-bomb, featuring notes of fenugreek, cumin seed and cinnamon stick over a core of Black Forest cake, plum preserves and blueberry pie with hints of fragrant earth and crushed stones. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it is laden with layers of black and blue fruit preserves, framed by super plush tannins, finishing epically long and perfumed." 100 points, Wine Advocate, 2020
