VIEUX CHATEAU CERTAN
Vieux Château Certan--Vintage 1950
Pomerol. Château-bottled
Bin-soiled labels, one damp-soiled. Levels: one top and one upper/top-shoulder
Tasting note: Tasted 5 times with consistent notes. The 1950 is a remarkably rich, still youthful wine from this fabulous vintage in Pomerol. The color remains an amazing garnet/purple, and the nose offers sensationally ripe, chocolatey, cassis aromas intertwined with herbs, licorice, Asian spices and coffee. Extremely full-bodied with port-like viscosity similar to the 1947, this blockbuster wine must be one of the least-known profound wines of the century. 97 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95, October 1994
