Certan de May de Certan - 1982 (6Liter) Size:6 Liter It boasts an inky/black/purple color

It boasts an inky/black/purple color along with an extraordinary bouquet of white flowers interwoven with blackberry and blueberry liqueur

and I have to admit I wondered whether the wines that followed – even if considered virtual Trockenbeerenauslesen – could represent an ascent

with a bit of spice and a pinch of cinnamon

carrot peelings and walnut are enlivened by ginger and white pepper sparks on the long exhale

Now in the bottle

Certan de May de Certan - 1982 (6Liter) Size:6 Liter It boasts an inky/black/purple colorA 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 Parker 93+ points
