Dark and brooding, the 2017 Vieux Château Certan commands attention from the first pour. Inky fruit mingles with chocolate, lavender and exotic spice in a dense, powerful frame. There's a mysterious, almost monastic quality to this wine that sets it apart from more accessible vintages. The Thienpont brothers have crafted something truly special here—a towering Pomerol built for the long haul.
