Wine Spectator
I love the dark fruit and underlying aromas of fresh herbs and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with a lovely silky texture and a clean, fresh, fruity and delicate finish. Barrel Tasting. —James Suckling, 91 points

Wine Advocate
A bruising, black/purple-hued, full-bodied wine, the 2009 Certan de May displays notes of charcuterie, smoked game, herbs, black truffles, roasted meats, cassis and black cherries. This backward, robustly-styled Pomerol is loaded with tannin as well as extract. Give this full, powerful 2009 a decade of cellaring and drink it over the following 30+ years. I? sure it is not better than the immortal 1982 Certan de May. 93 points

Château Certan de May Tasting Notes
Remarkably rich and concentrated. An enormous bouquet of spices, vanilla, oak, ripe rich black currants and plums. The wine macerates on the skins for almost one month, giving the wine its sensational concentration and black purple color. Vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged in 100% new oak barrels for 20-26 months.
