Vieux Château Certan--Vintage 1990
Pomerol
Levels: top shoulder or better
In original wooden case
"The 1990, which I previously rated several points higher, is backward and tannic, but promising. I was surprised by the severe level of harsh tannin in the wine, but I believe it is balanced out by sweet, jammy, coconut-scented, spicy, earthy, black currant and cherry fruit. The wine is full-bodied and muscular, with a tannin level that is far more pronounced than in previous tastings. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
