Notes
The 1986 Vieux Château Certan was the first vintage whereby Alexandre Thienpont felt that he had control of the vineyard and the winemaking. It has a very Cabernet-driven bouquet, to the extent that I actually miss the contribution of the Merlot – just a little one-dimensional. The palate is better with grainy tannins, hints of soy infusing the red fruit, quite masculine with perhaps a finish that needs more charm. Tasted at the Vieux Château Certan dinner at La Trompette.
