  Falstaff
  "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Rauchig, zart tabakig, ein Hauch von frischen Pflaumen und kandierten Orangen. Mittlere Komplexität, feine Fruchtsüße, zugänglich, bereits gut entwickelt, mineralischer Nachhall, bereits sehr verführerisch."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Year On tasting, the 2007 Vieux Chateau Certan offers enticing aromas of black fruit, melted tar, mint, rooibos tea and undergrowth—complex and enticing, almost matching L'Eglise-Clinet in terms of sophistication. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit on the entry and white pepper and cloves on the mid-palate, while the Cabernet component lends structure and a sense of symmetry towards the finish, although it does fade in the glass, whereas the L'Eglise-Clinet "motor" on. This is just beginning to drink now but should last for another 8-10 years."

  Weinwisser
  "Dunkles, tiefes Granat, satt in der Mitte. Sehr aromatisches Bouquet, Brombeer-, Pflaumen- und Cassisnoten, unterlegt mit schwarzem Tee und dunkler Schokolade. Im Gaumen hoch fein, sehr elegant und doch mit erstaunlichem Aromendruck im Finale. Ein Vieux Château Certan mit mittlerem Potenzial, der schon relativ früh Genuss bereiten wird."

  Wine Spectator
  " Shows blackberry, fresh mushroom and Indian spices on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, glorious finish. Well-crafted as usual. 3,585 cases made."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Slightly more interesting on the nose than on the palate, the wine opens with its blend of earth, truffle, herbs, flowers and red berries. Medium bodied, soft and without and hard edges, the finish shows sweet, red, earthy fruits that you want to linger. Fully mature, there is no reason to hod this for further development."
