6 x Cases 2008 Vieux Château Certan @ £900.00 IB per case
93 Robert Parker "This is a beautiful wine, much more developed and evolved than the 2010, as one might expect, with perfumed notes of camphor, cedar, charcoal, herbs, and black and red fruits. A blend of 70% of Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine has very complex aromatics, medium to full body, outstanding ripeness, a spicy, perfumed character, and light to moderate tannin. It can benefit from 2-4 years of cellaring and should keep for two decades"

92 Neal Martin "Tasted at the chateau, the 2008 is a blend of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, which is the most Cabernet year. Very classic. The Vieux Chateau Certan '08 has a very alluring bouquet, very classic in style with the Cabernet lending the aromatic darker fruit with touches of boysenberry, blackcurrant pastille and touch of blueberry confit with great delineation. The palate is medium-bodied, a tensile, linear VCC at the moment, but beautifully poised with crisp acidity, the Cabernet dictating the complex finish. This is not a powerful wine from Alexandre Thienpont, but in his words: "true wine to marry with lunch" and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that"
