Weekend Wine Review 2012 Vieux Chateau Certan

By
Industry Observer

This past Saturday we celebrated Bob's birthday and he opted for a dinner in which we usually both prefer. So had a special bottle of wine that Bob's boss had given us it is excellent and rated 92 by Robert Parker. This is a very deep purple color, this wine has one of the most velvety elegant finishes it was so smooth. The aromas are deep dark black cherry, the taste is of deep dark red sweet plums, with deep dark cherry and a hint of anise. It paired welled with our rare steak and salad! We had a wonderful evening and I think the birthday boy enjoyed his meal as well as the wine!

The cheapest that I can find this bottle is $158 as I said this was a gift not one I will be buying anytime soon as it is way beyond my budget!

That's definitely a bottle out of my league budget wise.  I bet it is delightful.

I love the artwork on the label, Yolanda.  Very old world or antique looking.  You make the wine sound amazing.

Good morning Yolanda - I am sure it was worth it even if you got it as a gift.  Love your description.

Thank you very much for sharing this wine selection.

This one is far above my price range.

It was a gift from a very wealthy man.

Well, Happy Birthday Robert Bob Gilbert , I hope that he enjoyed the wonderful dinner with his beautiful wife Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert.  I don't think I would be buying expensive wines like that either, but I am sure it was really good!
