On opening this wine I notice a deep scent of cranberry and raspberry

with some patience

The Marsanne and Roussanne play a bigger role here with lovely stone fruit and honey characters coming through

with prune and stewed black fruits and an intensity with chewy tannins into the finish

Certan De May de Certan - 2009 (750ml) Size:750ml On opening this wine IRP 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.
