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.

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
