    Neal Martin,
    Vinous
    Although this was not a great vintage in Pomerol, Alexandre Thienpont crafted a commendable 1996 Vieux Château Certan. The bouquet is open-knit with black plum mixed with chestnut and Earl Grey. [N.B. some bottles have shown some brettanomyces.] The palate is medium-bodied and underpinned by a fine line of acidity, a decent amount of black fruit tinged with mint towards the rather abrupt finish. Not bad, although the 1995 is better. Taken from the Pomerol book authored by Neal Martin.
