Lot 130 Details
VIEUX CHÂTEAU CERTAN 2000

Pomerol.
u. 6 x bn. 1 x scraped label.

A gorgeous wine of grace, elegance, and power, this youthful 2000 will benefit from another five years of cellaring. It appears to have 25 more years of life ahead of it. A deep ruby/purple color is just beginning to lighten at the edges. The bouquet offers up scents of cedar wood, melted licorice, black currants, blackberries, caramel, and mocha. Medium to full-bodied, elegant, and pure with low acidity as well as formidable tannins in the long finish, the 2000 should rival vintages such as 2005, 2006, and 2009. June 2010 WA 95

6 bts.    per lot $1,700 - $1,900

Realised: $2,256
