Excellent color, fruit flavor, aromatic expression, and texture. After 13 months' ageing in oak barrels, two-thirds of which were new, the 2008 is coming through as a vintage with complexity and great length on the palate. This is a classic Vieux Chateau Certan; that is to say, very Cabernet Franc, just like the 2006.
