Lobenberg: Zu 75% Merlot und 25% Cabernet Franc, sehr ungewöhnlich ganz ohne Cabernet Sauvignon. Schwarz-Rubinrot. Für VCC extrem aromatische Nase, satte schwarze und rote Frucht, rote und schwarze Kirsche, nur ein Hauch der sonst stärkeren roten Johannisbeere und Cassis, schöne Vanille, etwas Rauch. Im Mund ein Ansturm von frischer Harmonie und perfekter Balance, einfach nur schön. Tolle Aromen ohne Extreme, moderate und schön erfrischende Säure, ein extrem stimmiger Wein ohne den Kick 'Jahrhundertwein' wie im Vorjahr, aber klar eines der Highlights des Jahrgangs. 95-96/100

Parker über: Vieux Chateau Certan

-- Parker: Tasted blind at Farr Vintners' horizontal, the 2006 Vieux Château Certan remains an outstanding proposition. It has an airy red cherry and raspberry bouquet, a hint of bergamot tea in the background, succinctly defined, even if the fruit needs some encouragement from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. The acidity is well judged, harmonious in the mouth, quite smooth with hints of truffle oil and white pepper towards the composed, quite sensual finish. Give this a couple of more years in bottle and then it should drink well for at least a couple of decades. 96/100

Wine Enthusiast über: Vieux Chateau Certan

-- Wine Enthusiast: A ripe, perfumed wine with spice and sweet, delicious fruit, sustained by dense, opulent tannins and red fruits. A greater dominance of Merlot in the wine in 2006 has resulted in a richer, fatter wine than usual. 96/100

Wine Spectator über: Vieux Chateau Certan

-- Wine Spectator: Shows complex and subtle aromas of dried dark fruits and blueberry. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, refined finish. Very fine. Solid and balanced, with lovely sweet fruit on the finish. All in place for the vintage. 95/100

Jancis Robinson über: Vieux Chateau Certan

-- Jancis Robinson: Very deep crimson; even bluer and deeper than the 2005. Richer, tighter than the 2005. Really powerful and still with enormous unresolved tannin but no worries about the fruit outlasting it. Still quite youthful. A certain refreshing inkiness. Real backbone here! Very VCC! 13.5%
