Certan De May de Certan - 2009 (750ml) Cristine Composed of 92% Cabernet SauvignonRP 93+ A bruising, black purple hued, full bodied wine, the 2009 Certan de May displays notes of charcuterie, smoked game, herbs, black truffles, roasted meats, cassis and black cherries. This backward, robustly styled Pomerol is loaded with tannin as well as extract. Give this full, powerful 2009 a decade of cellaring and drink it over the following 30+ years. Im sure it is not better than the immortal 1982 Certan de May. Robert M. Parker, Jr.
