Certan May Vintage:2005 this is a powerful ChampagneThis Bordeaux wine offers an earthy, black fruit, tobacco and spice nose. Medium full bodied and with a hint of austerity, the already mature wine ends with soft dark and red fruits along with a hint of green flavors. This is not my favorite style of Pomerol due to its hard edges. This should probably be drunk up sooner than later.
