Le Gay 2014 (OWC)

Description

By Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate in 2017 (WA93)
The 2014 Le Gay is blessed with a fabulous bouquet of brambly red berry fruit tinged with black truffle, roasted chestnut and just a hint of hung game. There is marvelous energy here, the aromatics keeping you engaged. The palate is medium-bodied with superb purity, certainly very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Sure, there is a veneer of vanilla oak to be assimilated on the finish, but there is such depth and persistence that this will be no problem. This surpasses my expectations from barrel and continues the fine form of this Pomerol estate.

Dark crimson. Very meaty luscious Pomerol nose. Rich and glamorous. Really fine and palate soothing. Not big and heavy but well-polished tannins and masses of flattering fruit.
