real excitement here

The 2020 Certan de May has come together nicely

this is luscious and sweet

presenting bright red fruit

black raspberry and violet

second in larger oak casks

Very floral with fresh honey

salted caramel

not unusual here

though there remains a bit of new oak to be subsumed at the moment

so perfumed and floral - really vibrant - you can smell the Cabernet and the Petit Verdot on the nose

just so perfumed and appealing
