Vieux Chateau Certan

88-91 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '07 Vieux Ch Certan is a sweet and fruity wine, with chocolate, berry and plum character; medium body, fine tannins and a long finish; tender wine.

96 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. The '06 Vieux Ch Certan has a gorgeous nose of forest floor, coffee, toast, and extravagant levels of black currants and blackberries; has hints of charcoal and flowers.

93 PTS ROBERT PARKER JR. Less than 1000 cases made of the '03 VCC. An outstanding wine that expresses sumptuous aromas of burning embers; incenase and roasted herbs; finesse and elegant finish.

97 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '05 Vieux Ch Certan shows violet, olive and sliced plum on the nose, with Indian spices and hints of cappuccino and chocolate; complex; very pretty and aromatic.

91 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. Refined red; lots of Indian spices on the nose, with lovely berry and plum character; medium to full bodied, plenty of racy fruit; the '99 Vieux Chateau Certan is a fine wine.

94 PTS ROBERT PARKER, JR. Deeply-colored, with a marvelously fragrant nose of herbs, berry fruits, oak and exotic spices, the compelling 1990 Vieux-Chateau-Certan is superlative.

Big and deep, the '88 Vieux Chateau Certan offers a mix of very attractive flavors; soft and supple now, this wine has become a great drinking wine.
