10/11/2016 - davergny Likes this wine: 92 pointsLike velvet, with subtle chocolate, truffle, spice, and black cherry notes. I would say this is peaking, but should hold for a while. Lovely Pomerol. |

9/9/2016 - WineGuyFL Likes this wine: 95 pointsMy first of 6 bottles. Completely lived up to my expectations. Deep/dark with all kinds of dark fruit notes....almost chewy. Decanted 30-45 minutes. Not sure it needed more than that, as it did not improve after 45 minutes as dinner progressed. Could it get better over time? Yes, but no reason not to enjoy some now. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

8/6/2016 - Longrange380 Likes this wine: 95 points1 hour decant. Wild berries and dark forest in the nose. On the palate licorice and leather, as well some plums. Very classy wine - no fruit bomb. Neverending finish. Great. |

7/31/2016 - palbe Likes this wine: 93 pointsDeep mahogany. Very complex, lovely layered nose. Plum, tobacco, hay, cedar, spices. Mellow, rich, composed and detailed on the palate. Long! Pure class, and in the sweet-spot for me. |

2008 Château Certan de MayPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/6/2016 - Sundbyberg wrote: 91 pointsVery traditional, yet quite sweet, which shows that 2008 was a good year in Pomerol. Also very drinkable but not a lot of finesse. Some oak and tannins, of course. |

6/25/2016 - acyso wrote: 90 pointsHDH auction tasting at Tru; 6/24/2016-6/25/2016 (Chicago, IL): There is absolutely no way that this doesn't have a fair bit of franc in it. Lots of dusty tannins, sweet red fruit, and some emergent secondary characteristics. This is in a really good spot at the moment -- lots of leather, a nice touch of barnyard, and some tart red fruit. |

6/19/2016 - eoinhharkins Likes this wine: 94 pointsJust a fantastic wine, lots of plum, espresso, earth, spices with a really silky smooth mouth feel, with subtle bitterness to the grainy tannins that have a grip on the finish should integrate nicely with more bottle time |

5/5/2016 - slaughterer Likes this wine: 94 pointsBlack with ruby edges. Nose of black cherry, grilled meat, mushrooms, liquorice, earth, cassis. Very smooth medium-weight harmonious palate with alcohol and tannins completely absorbed. Tastes of black cherry, raspberry, strawberry, cassis, black liquorice, tobacco, spice, anise, sauerkraut. Not a hyper-concentrated bruiser, but on the fine side. Lots of depth, complexity and balance, with a lush structure. Peak drinking window right now. |

5/4/2016 - Jeff Leve wrote: 91 pointsElegant, soft, smooth and refined, with a fresh plum, black cherry and earthy character. Give this a few more years to develop additional complexities. The wine was made from blending 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc. |

5/3/2016 - blanquito wrote: NREarly maturity, this is already delicious with 10-15 mins of air. Excellent depth for an 01 with terrific brightness. Perfectly poised between richness and elegance. Smooth without being polished. There are quintessential notes on the nose and palate -- graphite, leather, tobacco, plum -- that just purr Bordeaux, almost like something from bygone era, perhaps even the 1980s ('85 comes to mind). Very accessible already, I think this will improve for at least another decade, gaining nuance and an ever-silkier texture. So classy. A- for today, going higher once at peak. |

2015 Château Certan de MayPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/1/2016 - PanosKakaviatos Likes this wine: NRPomerol panache (Bordeaux, actually tasted during en primeur week): Lovely aromatic elegance, but again we encounter somewhat raw tannins stressing power over grace. Compared to Latour à Pomerol however, tasted just before, this estate is more elegant and more seductive… so I give the benefit of the doubt to barrel aging to sort things out. 91-93 |
