1982 Bordeaux theme, Flight 3 with the Haut Brion, another good 82, tertiary, red & black fruits, sweet finish, still had some tannins to suggest it has some years left

There’s some interesting notes of mixed berry and minerals that lend complexity. Sometimes Vieux Château Certan can be somewhat stern and so it was. On its own terms it’s a very good wine yet I still yearned for additional freshness even at this age.

t first not much of a nose, a little thin on the palate But 10 minutes later the flavor explodes. Brambleberry fruits with plenty of tannins. Just wonderful. and it continued to improve. My #2

Base neck fill. Double decanted. Took a few minutes to wake up but really a great bottle. Some cedar and tobacco notes on the nose. The palate has red fruit, leather and a rocky note. Excellent.
