Château Certan de May - 2014 -

robert parkerFassprobe (2015): The Chateau Certan-de-May 2014 has a commendable bouquet, not complex but with satisfying blackberry and raspberry fruit coming through, touches of chalk dust and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with a conservative entry and this continues throughout the wine, rather dry-ish tannins, very linear, nicely composed but missing the joie-de-vivre of some other Pomerol crus, or the charm of say, the Latour-a-Pomerol. It needs to muster something more by the time of bottling given the reputation of this name and the strong performance of past vintages.85-87/100 Punkte - Trinkreife: 2018 - 2028weinwisser logoExtrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen, also eine auffallend dunkle Farbe. Trockenes Bouquet, schwer anzugehen, aber man merkt die kompakten Aromen in der Mitte, Pflaumentöne, Tabak und Teekräuter, präzise ausgerichtet. Im Gaumen ist das einer der strengsten Pomerols. Nicht viele haben eine derartig verlangende Adstringenz. Zeigt Charakter, hat Potential und ist ganz sicher ein Langstreckenläufer. Mit dem weiteren Barriquenausbau wunscht man ihm etwas mehr Fett auf den Rippen.Trinkreife: warten (2023 - 2048) - 18/20 PunktewinespectatorShows a perfumy profile, with rooibos tea, blood orange and warm raspberry coulis notes leading the way. The structure marries a silky and fine-grained wood feel, letting the fruit smolder through the finish. Tasted non-blind.-J.M.91-94 /100 PunktevinousThe 2014 Certan de May offers terrific depth and intensity, although it is very much closed in on itself. Dark cherry, tobacco, cedar, mint, licorice and dried flowers gain volume over time. Deceptively medium in body, the 2014 has plenty of underlying tannin as well as enough acidity to drink well for a number of years.94 /100 Punkte - Trinkreife: 2020 - 2039sucklingSo much blackberry, stone, dried-mushroom and wet-earth character on then nose. Yet it's a wine that remains clear and focused. Medium-to full-bodied, linear and tannic. A serious wine. Best in years from here. Better in 2022.95/100 PunkteFassprobe (2015): The Chateau Certan-de-May 2014 has a commendable bouquet, not complex but with satisfying blackberry and raspberry fruit coming through, touches of chalk dust and tobacco.
