Robert Parker (90)

88-90 Aromas of dark berries, minty cherries, chocolate and creamy new oak introduce the 2023 Certan de May, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate that's a touch varietal and ephemeral, concluding with a fleeting, vanillin-inflected finish.

94-95 A juicy and fresh red with good depth of fruit, showing pretty plum and blackberry, as well as bark and mushroom. It’s medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins that are already integrated and polished. 65% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 10% cabernet sauvignon.

90-93 The 2023 Certan de May is a potent, dense wine that shows the more opulent side of the year. Ripe, dark-toned fruit, licorice, cloves, mocha and new leather are all amplified in this decidedly overt Pomerol. It will be interesting to see how this comes together with élevage. The oak is a bit strong today, but it works with the wine's style. This is promising.

91-93+ Deep ruby/purple-hued, the 2023 Château Certan De May (65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a darker, more floral, herbal character (no doubt due to the high Cabernet content) as well as beautiful aromatics of cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and chalky minerality. It's medium-bodied, has nicely integrated oak, the pure, juicy, elegant style of the vintage, and a great finish. A more inward, focused, serious 2023, I’s going to benefit from a touch of bottle age, although, like just about all the 2023s, it will still offer plenty of pleasure in its youth.
