Certan de May, Pomerol 1985 Cider Sparkling & Sweet

Sparkling & Sweet

It is immediately clear that this is a bigger and more powerful wine that possesses outstanding mid-palate density and a huge reserve of dry extract that imparts a seductive mouth feel and mostly buffers the exceptionally firm tannic spine on the massively long finish

with crisp acids

Drink now through 2027

Less obviously sweet today than the 2003 (I might have picked this blind as a classic Bordeaux blend including Petit Verdot and cab franc)
