Vieux Chateau Certan 1945 Pomerol u: both top shoulder, light corrosion to one capsule top, heavy bin soil to both capsules with nicks and losses to bases, discoloration and staining to labels, one unaffixed at corner, light wrinkling at edges of labels "Tasted twice and rated highly each time, the 1945 is an exceptional winemaking effort in what can be a frightfully tannic vintage. It exhibits a dark, murky, plum color with little garnet at the edge. It also possesses a huge nose of smoked meats, black-raspberries, plums, licorice, and tar. Dense, chewy, and powerful, with gobs of tannin, and amazing fruit extraction, this full-throttle wine must be at its plateau of maturity, yet I see no reason it cannot last for two more decades." R.
