2018 Certan de May Pomerol Certan de May, Bordeaux

Vinous - 2018 Certan de May Pomerol, Certan de May

The 2018 Certan de May has come together nicely over the last nearly two years. Some of the more angular edges has soften. Today, what comes through is an attractive Pomerol laced with hints of red, purplish fruit, lavender and spice. There is good depth to the 2018 if not quite the complexity or nuance of the best wines in the appellation. Overall, Certan de May is fruity and rather one dimensional. Drink it over the next two decades, give or take. - Antonio Galloni, März 2021
