{"product_id":"2021-vieux-chateau-certan-pomerol","title":"2021 Vieux Chateau Certan Pomerol 1.5L","description":"\u003cp\u003e98 Vinous - The 2021 Vieux Château Certan is a spectacular tour de force from Alexander and Guillaume Thienpont. What a wine. Vibrant and magnificent in its precision, the 2021 races across the palate, revealing seemingly endless layers of nuance over time. Dark blue\/purplish fruit, cinnamon, new leather, graphite, lavender and crushed rocks all build effortlessly. The Cabernets are dialed up in 2021 and that comes through in the wine's flavor profile and overall feel. The purity of the flavors is just mind-bending. Harvest took place between September 25 and October 4. The blend is 77% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. Readers who can find the 2021 should not hesitate, as it is truly magical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e97 James Suckling - This wine is graceful and delicate, with a clarity and beauty showing aromas of mushrooms, bark, forest floor and violets. Cherries and raspberries, too. Medium-bodied with silky, ultra-fine tannins, it runs long and true. Very crunchy and full of acid tension, this has historical character but is still modern and brilliant. 77% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 3% cabernet sauvignon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 Decanter - Ripe juicy strawberry, this has a gorgeous intensity on the nose, really fragrant and expressive, in a rich deep, heavily-scented way. You get the ripeness here with smooth, silky tannins giving depth and intensity on the palate. Succulent with a sharpness, that hit of freshly picked strawberry and cherry juice - electric and bright with tension and direction. It’s softly spoken in one way, so quietly confident, yet showing so much detail in another, saying; \"looking at how charming I can be\". It has freshness and tension - ‘a cool climate VCC’ said Alexandre Thienpont. Bright acidity through delivered gracefully and sensitively with a gentle persistence. I love the delicacy, it has body no doubt, but it’s the detail that’s so captivating. A wonderful wine and one of the best from Pomerol in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"TWINS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46334127636786,"sku":"50000000002967","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/2021_Vieux_Chateau_Certan_Pomerol.png?v=1724277683","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2021-vieux-chateau-certan-pomerol","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
