Tasting notes
Quite one-dimensional, with soft, ripe plummy fruit, and some oaky aromas, the 1976 has average concentration, no noticeable tannin, and a pleasant, yet uninteresting finish. Anticipated maturity: Now--may be in decline. Last tasted, 7/83.

About the producer

The original Château at Vieux Château Certan dates back to around 1770 but the modern history of the estate begins in 1924 - the year that Belgian wine merchant Georges Thienpont purchased the property.
