CHATEAU CERTAN DE MAY 1982 JEROBOAM

Stock#: 64335 Price: $4,299.00 If you want to be impressed by a great 1982 Pomerol, forget about Petrus (the 1982 is over-priced and a wine that never quite lived up to its lofty reputation) and grab a bottle of 1982 Certan de May. You won't be disappointed! "In the blind tasting, I thought it was Lafleur, and came close to giving it a perfect rating. Although still youthful, it has turned the corner and is emerging from its closed state. A murky, dense, opaque garnet color is followed by spectacular aromatics of roasted herbs, smoked meats, cedar, prunes, black cherries, and black currants. Rich, powerful, and full-bodied, with a thick, unctuous texture, considerable fat and glycerin, and dazzling concentration, Certan de May has not produced a wine of such intensity, thickness, and aging potential since their 1949, 1948, 1947, and 1945. It is accessible, but do not mistake that for maturity. This 1982 demands another 5-6 years of cellaring; it should age easily for 30+ years. It is a modern day classic, and unquestionably the finest Certan de May I have ever tasted." 98 points Robert Parker Original Wooden Cases Click Here to view all Products in our RARITIES Category
