Vieux Chateau Certan 1975 (1.5L)

93 VM

Bottles of 1975 Vieux Château Certan have been a little inconsistent over the years, although when it is on form it can represent the high point of the decade. Plump black plum on the nose with a distinctive brine/marine scent, well-defined and gaining intensity in the glass, one hopes that the palate matches up. It does (or at least, it can do.) Well-endowed red fruit, very well balanced though quite muscular, sinewy in style, there is admirable grip if not the most graceful VCC that you will ever meet.
