Pomerol - Vieux Chateau Certan 2020

"Moving to the Grand Vin, the 2020 Vieux Château Certan is another legendary wine from this vintage, ranking with the best Bordeaux ever produced. Based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in 65% new French oak, it has a deep, powerful, full‑bodied style as well as incredible purity and precision in its darker cassis, graphite, gravelly earth, and tobacco‑driven aromatics. With perfectly integrated oak, again, incredible purity, and perfect, ultra‑fine tannins, it deserves 8‑10 years of bottle age and will be a 40‑ to 50‑year wine." 100 pts, Jeb Dunnuck
