Certan De May 1985 (1.5L)

94 WA / 93 WCI

This is a flamboyant wine with a gaudy aromatic profile consisting of cedar wood, smoke, licorice, jammy black fruits, and Asian spices. In the mouth, it is fleshy and meaty, with a streak of roasted herbs running through the sweet, jammy, opulently-textured black fruits, earth, and oak.-Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate

The best bottle of this I've had in ages showed off its truffle, cherry, wet earth and forest aromatics with little effort. Medium bodied, fresh, silky and charming, the finish was focused on its sweet, fresh, earthy plum and cherry fruit. No further aging and a simple, splash decant is all that's needed here. 93 Points-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider
