Lot 43 Details
VIEUX CHÂTEAU CERTAN 2012

Pomerol.
u. 3 x bn. 3 x scuffed labels

Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting. The 2012 Vieux Château Certan has a potent, smoke, cooked meat, Cabernet Franc-scented bouquet that is beautifully defined—quintessentially Pomerol. You want typicité? Come right here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite gentle as it sashays across the mouth. The acidity is very well judged and leads to an elegant tobacco tinged finish. Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont have produced one of the finest wines of the Right Bank in 2012, one that is up there with the greats. Tasted January 2016. Drink: 2020-2045 WA 95

3 bts.    per lot $500 - $700

Realised: $528
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
