Vieux Château Certan--Vintage 2001
Pomerol
Tasting note: A brilliant effort from Alexandre Thienpont, this blend of 70 Merlot and 30 Cabernet Franc is a deep purple-colored, fleshy, layered effort offering a sweet nose of creosote, incense, Christmas spices, plenty of red and black fruits, and hints of licorice as well as new oak. Rich, medium to full-bodied, with tremendous purity in addition to nobility, give it two more years of cellaring and drink it over the next following 15-18 years. 93 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 153 (Jun 2004)
