I would have expected this wine to be showing more age based on how well it drank during its first decade of life. However, it continues to exhibit a thick-looking, dark rubypurplegarnet color. The nose offers gobs of sweet, jammy, earthy, tobacco, mocha, chocolatey, berry fruit. Full-bodied, with an unctuous texture, this chewy, lush wine is one of the finest Certan-Girauds made.
