Vieux Château Certan (Pomerol)
A compelling vintage for VCC, while the floral, truffle, mint, tobacco and chocolate covered cherry nose is exciting, it’s the perfect balance between the wines concentration, elegance, and sensuous opulence that makes this gem standout from the pack.

1940
Château Canon (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
A rare vintage from the war years, and only the second wine from 1940 I've tasted. Light in color and on the palate, yet this is quite charming. Focused on bright red fruits, with tobacco leaves, cedar, and crushed stones in the nose, the palate was fresh, crisp, and elegant, leaving you with leafy herbs that topped the raspberries and strawberries in the finish. If you see a bottle, and it's not too pricey, check it out. Drink from 2026-2030. 68 Views Tasted Jan 13, 2026 |

Château Rausan-Ségla (Margaux)
I hope I’m as charming as this wine when I’m 97 years old. Tea like in color, with a perfume of dried flowers, forest leaves, raspberries, and strawberries with herbs and a touch of burnt earth.
