Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 29, 2022 - What a wonderful surprise - the 1990 Certan Giraud is drinking so beautifully now. As soon as it lands in the decanter, a heavenly nose emerges, powdered and aromatic in the way that Raus(z)an Segla can sometimes be but with an array a Pomerolian things - plum, truffle, mineral, cocoa, and a hint of nuttiness. The palate is slightly less sumptuous, offering a medium plum body with mostly-resolved tannin and nice acid, emphasizing chestnut, pheasant, and leather. You could imagine a stronger finish from 1990 Pomerol, but leveling that criticism would almost be to forget what a characterful, food-friendly value this is.
