Vieux Château Certan--Vintage 2000
Pomerol. Château-bottled
Tasting note: The dense ruby/purple-colored, tight 2000 gradually reveals notes of oak, tapenade, blackberries, spice box, licorice, and vanilla. Deep, medium to full-bodied, and powerful, with superb purity, low acidity, and high tannin, this backward, concentrated Vieux Chateau Certan falls just short of rivaling the sensational 1998. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030. 95 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146, April 2003
