Cabernet Franc brought to the blend delicacy, excellent length and breed. It gives the wine its flamboyant side. The Merlot is rich, perfumed, round and vinous. It brings liveliness and pleasantness. The 2014 Vieux Chateau Certan displays many facets: it shows a balance between freshness and roundness and between fruit character and length of flavour. It is charming and delicious.

One of the unquestioned stars of the vintage, the 2014 Vieux Château Certan soars out of the glass with aromatic intensity, bright acids and finely sculpted fruit. Cool, intense but very much reserved in the style of the year, the 2014 exudes class. The flavors are intense and vibrant throughout. Dark red and purplish-hued stone fruit, lavender, mint and spice lead into the striking finish. The 2014 is just as impressive today as it was from barrel. As always, Vieux Certan has the rare ability to confer power without excess weight. The 2014 is a magical bottle. Readers who can find it should not hesitate. The blend is back to classic proportions of 80 % Merlot and 20 % Cabernet Franc.
