Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

80 % Merlot, 19 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 38,7 hl/ha. Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Mit 13,4 Vol. % ein ausserordentliche reiches Jahr. Doch das merkt man nicht im ersten Nasenansatz, welcher zwischen Schokolade, Kräutern und Brombeeren herum tanzt. Im zweiten Nasenansatz eine feine Pfeffernote zeigend. Im Gaumen mit sehr guter Säure (selten so vif erlebt!), eher schlanker Körper mit feinster Rasse und ebensolchen Muskeln, die Länge ist spannend und das Potential ist solide und versprechend. Etwas mehr Fett würde man diesem Wein noch wünschen, aber das kommt wohl noch mit der Barrique. Trinkreife 2023-2040. Bewertung 18/20. -René Gabriel-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2014 Vieux Chateau Certan is a blend of 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, picked in three stages: 19-20 September, 29 September to 2 October, and 7 and 8 October. The yields came in at 38.7 hectoliters per hectare with 13.4% alcohol. It was one of my stars of the vintage and now in bottle, I find no reason to change that. It is endowed with an exquisite bouquet, really one of the best I encountered throughout my tastings: perfumed blackberry, wild strawberry, cold stone and wilted rose petals. Like in barrel, it is not powerful, yet it is blessed with wondrous precision. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity and fine tannin, a slightly masculine VCC due to its linearity and precision. There is tension here from start to finish, a sophisticated and cerebral Pomerol that transcends the growing season. It is a totally different kettle of fish to the 2015 (and doubtless the pre-natal 2016). This is unashamedly classic in style, fanning out towards the mineral-rich finish with great frisson and energy. A cellar without the 2014 Vieux-Château-Certan would be a great pity. Drink Date 2020-2050. Rating 96/100. -Neal Martin-

Vinous:

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. Drink Date 2024-2054. Rating 97+/100. -Antonio Galloni-

James Suckling:

This is so gorgeous with black truffles, stones and subtle blackberries. Black mushrooms, too. Full-bodied, so dense and deep with very silky tannins and an endless finish. The density of fruit is superb. Truly irresistible. Rating 97/100. -JamesSuckling.com-
