1982 Vieux Chateau Certan

This wine still possesses deep ruby colour. It has pronounced nose of violet, earth, smoke, coffee, dark chocolate and touch of vanilla and wormwood, well developed. It is dry with medium acidity and alcohol. Medium bodied and fine-grained tannin. On palate, it gives barely over medium intensity flavours of wormwood, smoke, red cherry and violet. Fairly long but subtle length of cedar wood finish (92) Complex, good development but  not much fruit now.

發展成熟的酒，果味已退了，全是成熟的香氣及酒味，餘韻悠長，慢慢嘆真係正。這枝是超大樽裝，單樽裝的狀態要小心一點。
