Chateau Certan de May
Chateau Certan de May 2005
95+ THE WINEADVOCATE : "This great terroir sandwiched between Vieux Château Certan, Petrus and La Fleur Petrus, on the high plateau of Pomerol, has been owned for many years by the Barrau-Badar family. Beautiful coffee, cedar wood, Christmas fruitcake, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit jump from the glass of this full-bodied, rich, multi-layered, and very impressive Certan de May. I don’t remember it showing this well in barrel and post-bottling, but it is strutting its stuff at age 10, and has a good 20 years of upside left to it. This is a beauty. I especially admire the layered, textural style of the wine. Drink it over the next 20 years." Drink: 2015 - 2035.
19 RENÈ GABRIEL: "Sehr dunkles, sattes Purpur, rubiner Rand. Tiefwürziges Bouquet, reifer Holunder, Cassis und Brombeeren, darin eine tolle, tiefe Würze zeigend. Im Gaumen reich, ausladend, warme, reife Frucht, zum ersten Mal präsentieren sich die Gerbstoffe bei einer Primeurprobe reif und der Wein strahlt eine perfekte Harmonie aus, dahinter bemerkt man dann die grosse Klassik und das fast dramatische Potential. Certan de May hätte immer schon vom Terroir her zu den ganz grossen Pomerol gehören können. Beim Jahrgang 2005 ist das das erste Mal fraglos der Fall! Drei Mal verkostet und jedes Mal fast ausgeflippt!" Drink: 2013 - 2040.
94 WINESPECTATOR: "Blackberry and green tobacco aromas, with hints of coffee bean, follow through to a full body, with big, velvety tannins and a complex finish of dark chocolate and berry. Chewy and muscular, yet caressing and pretty."
93 WINEENTHUSIAST: "92-94 Barrel sample. A hugely perfumed wine with smooth tannins. It´s impressively ripe, with vibrant black fruits."
17 JANCIS ROBINSON: "Dark rusty crimson. Richly scented with even a hint of oak – most unusual on a Moueix wine. Very intense aromas, not especially fruity. Sweet start and very silky texture. Fresh finish. Quite brisk and palate-cleansing. Very slightly astringent on the finish."
89+? ANTONIO GALLONI: "Deep red. Initially sauvage aromas of plum, leather, game and earth, with higher-pitched blueberry and blackberry emerging with aeration. Sweet, concentrated and densely packed, with a youthfully medicinal character to the dark fruit flavors. Finishes with firm, dusty tannins. Impressively constituted but seems less pure than it was from barrel the spring after the harvest. This will need a good seven or eight years of cellaring. (A second bottle, which I liked far less, was distinctly wilder on the nose and more leathery in the mouth, finishing with drying tannins.)"
