Noteringar:
2007-08-09 01:14 WS: Some attractive berry and dried-herb aromas follow through on the palate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a light finish. Slightly austere; lost some of the pretty fruit it had from barrel. Not Certan de May's normally stellar quality, but blame the vintage. Best after 1999. –JS
2007-08-09 01:15 WA: This wine reveals an intensely aromatic cedary, dried herb, and black cherry-scented nose, but its abrasive tannin level is troublesome. Although well-made, it displays a gritty texture, medium body, and an angular, rustic character to the tannin. If that softens (which I doubt), this wine will merit its 87 point score. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015.
2007-08-09 01:15 IWC: By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun '98 Moderately saturated medium red. Somewhat riper aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, smoke, tar, tobacco and pepper, plus a hint of green coffee beans. More intensely flavored and vinous than the '97; in a rather fruity style but a wine of modest sweetness. Finishes with tongue-dusting tannins and more length than the '97, but still betrays a slight greenness. 86-88 points
