critic reviews

92-94/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Is a touch shy to start off, slowly unfurling to offer glimpses of red currants and black raspberries notes, plus touches of garrigue, crushed rocks, and forest floor. The light to medium-bodied palate is energetic and bright, taut with red berry and mineral layers and framed by grainy tannins, finishing earthy. Nice!

85-87/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2024 Certan de May was picked 23 September to 6 October and is aged in 80% new oak. It has a strange nose that is missing some freshness. Likewise, the palate is framed by dry, grainy tannins that do not feel enmeshed with the sweet 'n' sour fruit. There's a dash of spice toward the attenuated finish, but overall, it is missing cohesion, finesse and harmony.

87-89/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2024 Certan de May offers up a minty bouquet of cherries, berries and tobacco leaf, followed by a medium-bodied, fleshy palate that's fine-boned and discreetly herbal.
