Lot 311 Details
VIEUX CHÂTEAU CERTAN 2011

Pomerol.
u. 3 x bn. 7 x vts.

One of the stars of the vintage, the 2011 Vieux Château Certan was brilliant from barrel (I vividly remember tasting it as a student), and it is beginning to show all of that potential in bottle. Wafting from the glass with inviting aromas of mulberries, cherries, vine smoke, bitter chocolate, violets and spices, framed by a deft application of classy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with terrific concentration, powdery tannins and a long, sapid finish. Even better, this terrific wine remains notably undervalued in the market today. August 2022 Drink to 2050 WA 96 JS 96

10 bts.    per lot $1,500 - $1,700

Realised: $3,300
