Tasting notes
Disappointing following bottling, this green-flavored, herbaceous, medium-bodied wine exhibits spice and red fruit notes, but it tastes underripe and meagerly-endowed. Anticipated maturity: now-2006.

Supple mocha, plum and red berry flavors and a slightly herbaceous character which slightly detracts from the overall quality. Medium in body and tannins. Drink now. – Wine Spectator 1996

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.
