Expert's opinions
Served after the L’Eglise Clinet, it stands out thanks to its fuller and smoother mouth. This wine is delicious to drink now. However, I regret a slightly lively finish. In other words, a touch more maturity or selection would have positioned this vintage at a very high level. It still has a long life ahead of it.

The 1989 Vieux Château Certan has long been one of my favorite wines of that decade. The bouquet shows no signs of relinquishing that title with gorgeous black truffle, bay leaf, warm gravel and briary scents that are simply beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity, "warm earth" on the entry, leather and truffle, great depth here with sublime precision on the finish, which is bridled with hints of mushroom and cloves. Maybe this is reaching its peak? Then again, it shows absolutely no signs of reaching the end of its plateau. This is nothing short of a wondrous Pomerol from Alexandre Thienpont.

Here is another ultraripe nose, showing dried fruits and treacle tar aromas. Full-bodied, with very ripe flavors of dried beef, raisin and spices, verging on rustic. Impressive palate. Yes, this is a little dry and tannic, even austere, but I love the opulence.

Mid to full garnet. Mellow sandlewood and cedar on the nose, some gentle red autumnal fruit and a pinch of tobacco. Harmonious on the attack, quite fresh, nicely classical and understated, long. A quietly satisfying and unshowy wine that has shown similarly across almost a full case over the past 15 years.

This wine is starting to open up with lovely cedar and cassis flavours. Not as opulent or full as the 1990 but beautiful spices and lovely aromatics here. Still very young; continue to follow it over the next decade.

Better on the nose, with its complex display of truffle, wet earth, floral, tobacco, cherry and plum notes, than on the soft, silky, medium bodied, dark, cherry profile. This is fully developed and will probably not move much past this point.
