Château Certan de May 2014
£115.43 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
I was not totally convinced by the 2014 Certan de May when I tasted it from barrel and now in bottle, I am not inclined to alter that view. It has a rather banal bouquet, nothing criminally wrong, just rather predictable and missing the joie-de-vivre or the complexity that I have found in other vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, quite grainy in texture with simple black dusty fruit, yet it tapers away far too quickly on the finish. I was expecting more, but it just does not deliver. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
