1988 Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol

From the top echelon of the Right Bank's most prized appellation and an estate which in recent decades has been challenging once more for top position there. Alexandre Thienpont, who took over the running of the estate for the 1986 vintage, is the driving force behind this resurgence. Here, a fine, remarkably matured example of his work in a bottle that's even finer for an exclusive occasion.
