1995 Vieux Chateau Certan Pomerol

["Frightful bottle variation left me perplexed about just where this wine fits in Bordeaux's qualitative hierarchy. I tasted the wine three times since bottling, all within a 14 day period. Twice the wine was extremely closed and firm, with an evolved plum/garnet color, high levels of tannin, sweet black currant, prune, and olive-tinged fruit, and astringent tannin in the medium-bodied finish.- Robert Parker Jr. (02/1998)"]

95 pts - Wine Spectator

["Wonderful fruit and texture. Best VCC I have ever tasted. Dark-colored, and bubbling over with blackberry and raspberry character with undertones of chocolate, mint and vanilla. Full-bodied, with very velvety tannins and a long, flavorful finish. 3,800 cases made. –JS WS"]
