Vieux Chateau Certan 1982

The 1982 Vieux Château Certan stands as an absolute masterpiece, ranking among the finest vintages crafted at this estate since its golden era in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Even today, the nose remains ripe, youthful, and remarkable, emanating a captivating blend of black plums, cassis, mocha, espresso, dark earthy notes, subtle nuttiness, singed tobacco, and a delightful touch of botanicals. The palate is profound, full-bodied, and unwavering at its core, supported by firm yet balanced tannins, impressive focus, and grip, complimented by excellent acidity for the vintage. The wine concludes with great length and grip on its precisely articulated and multifaceted finish.
