Vieux Château Certan

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Delectable Wine
9.5

The 2014 Vieux Château Certan has proven to be a strong performer in recent years, and there has been no change ten years on. Blacker fruit than its peers, plenty of black truffle shavings and a slightly pronounced marine influence. Maybe just a tad more VA than I recall? The palate is medium-bodied with a harmonious and silky smooth entry and fine precision, not a powerful VCC, and very elegant with raspberry, orange rind, tertiary notes and tobacco toward the finish. Wonderful. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2024)

Château Le Tertre Rôteboeuf

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

1998 vintage. Top-notch fill (almost too good) and perfect cork with very little lower-level saturation. Decanted and tasted over the course of two hours. Appropriate, chunky sediment. Last tasted 12.17.23 (9.2). Had some nice older leather, dry summer earth and ripe plum in the nose throughout with only a modicum of "funk" that blew off quickly. Medium body. Still vibrant color. Initially, the experience was front-loaded but, after 30 minutes or so, the fruit and structure began to fill in/slide back and balance out the mid-palate and finish. More consistent specimen than the one tasted almost 3 months ago. Don't feel it needs more time to knit/resolve affairs but can likely hold in this phase for 4-5 years without degradation. 3.10.24. — 18 days ago

Château Clos L'Eglise

Pomerol Merlot - Cabernet Franc Blend 2001

Wasn’t quite sure what to expect with this - but quite nice. Definitely late secondary at this point, not expecting any positive development. Dark red fruit, still a bit of dusty tannins, still enough acid. Nice pairing with a corned beef for St Patrick’s day. — 13 days ago

Château La Fleur-Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

More medium than full bodied. Ripe currants, asphalt, liquorice, green olives, spice. Classy and well mannered compared to some recent 2014 Right Bank wines I’ve had. — a month ago

Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

dark and intense. Gnarly fruit and an inky intensity. Gorgeous on the nose. Floral notes, deep plum with black pepper and a velvety texture. Long and still young but so pure and delicious — 16 days ago

Always a treat when the taste exceeds the price point. Perhaps the 20 years makes a difference! — 18 days ago

Château L'Evangile

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

The powerful and dense l’Evangile 2015 is according to some experts the last vintage of the classic style of the chateau. I have no experience with more recent vintages, all I can determine is this wine is wonderful. Fairly fragrant. The palate is voluptuous with a creaminess and melted tannins. Ripe fruits, baking spices, black truffle, olives, peppercorns, rock salt, sweet tobacco, noble wood, chocolate, roasted coffee beans. So opulent and so delicious. — a month ago
