Wow. Amazing nose of blackberries and cherries with forest floor and graphite are the things that come to mind most readily, but there is so much complexity here. The palate is very finely balanced with bright juicy acid countering the powdery tannins. The finish is long and complex. This is such a baby, and will clearly be better in 10 years, and better still 10 years after that. But it is so delicious even at this stage.

Bursts with complex aromatics emphasizing the earthy side of VCC with all that tree-bark and forestal stuff that gets irresistably truffly with age. The first impression on the palate is that the cabernet franc is really driving the wine this year, with all this etched, linear detail. But as it sits in the glass you can feel the plummy merlot bursting at the seems, building in intensity and sweetness. The tannins are quite powerful and grippy but had turned to ultrafine powder in the glass's worth left in the bottle the next day.

Nose is lifted and plummy, very good on the palate – no heat.

375 format face off between 2019 Clinet & Vieux Chateau Certan.
Slight edge to VCC after slow ox worked it’s magic. Small evolution in the glass unfurled small nuances separating these two Pomerol producers. Both are incredible wines in the early stages of development.
QPR goes to Clinet.
