Description
The Château 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-à-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.

The 2014 Chateau Certan 'De May de Certan' from Pomerol, France, is a wine that exudes elegance and a classic savory profile. With a deep, dark red hue, this wine offers an intense bouquet of dark cherry fruit, black olives, and a distinctive meaty character. On the palate, it reveals a licorice concentration and meaty notes, richly layered with charred wood and graphite nuances. The mid-palate is sumptuous, leading to a finish that is adorned with savory black olive and black cherry fruit, complemented by a lively acidity and balanced alcohol. The ripe, rounded chocolatey fruit on the finish is supported by a soft structure, making it a wine that promises to evolve beautifully. Decanting for an hour is recommended to allow the wine to express its full range of flavors. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled lamb chops, beef bourguignon, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses.
