Lot #35. Certan de May 1990

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: France, Bordeaux, Pomerol.
Score: 92 WS.
"The dark garnet/purple-colored, full-bodied 1990 exhibits a distinctive nose that offers huge, herbaceous, cassis scents intertwined with aromas of roasted nuts, smoky new oak, and peanut butter. This dense, concentrated wine reveals super extraction, soft tannins, and a voluptuous, even thick finish. It is reminiscent of the 1982, only less tannic." Wine Advocate #88, Aug 1993
Notes: Base neck, lightly scuffed, lightly scuffed, nicked, torn label.
