Dark ruby color. Earthy, with ripe fruit and barley aromas. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a light finish. Very good.
This was a very strong vintage for Vieux Chateau Certan. The 1990 reveals a deep garnet color to the rim along with a sweet bouquet of charcoal, licorice, roasted herbs, forest floor, and a meaty, truffle-like scent. A fleshy, full-bodied wine with exceptionally low acidity, plenty of melted tannin, and a long, layered finish, this beauty is close to full maturity, but it is in no danger of falling apart.
What a gorgeous, still youthful Pomerol! It was a joy to drink this wine which was evolving in the glass over 2 hours. Flavours are sweet, ripe and the texture supple and velvety. Hint of spices and dried Chinese dates in the finish which is very long. Maturity: Drink.
