Château Certan de May--Vintage 1998
Pomerol
In original wooden case
"A huge, powerfully tannic, backward wine that will require considerable patience. The color is a dense purple. This wine was not easy to evaluate, but as it sat in the glass, its thickness and impressive credentials became obvious. Sweet cherry liqueur, kirsch, cassis, dried herbs, cedar, and toasty oak gradually emerge from the wine's restrained aromatics. The palate is inundated with exceptional concentration, ferocious tannin, and high levels of extract. This is a backward wine, but it appears to possess the intense concentration needed to match its tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (Apr 1999)
