Description

The 2009 Vieux Chateau Certan is a stunning wine. Incredibly sweet red cherry and damson fruit bursts on the tip of the tongue whilst a glorious minerality freshens the palate behind. You can feel the power here but it is all so beautifully balanced, like a tightrope walker perfecting his art. This is just so harmonious with incredibly dense but ultra fine tannins adding to the velvety mouthfeel. A wonderful achievement.
