July 20, 2023 - Concentrated, elegant, opulent. Highly aromatic. Black currants, dark chocolate. Fine, elegant tannins. Medium acidity. Long finish. Great Pomerol.
Comparing it to it's little brother 2020 Manoir de Gay, which is also fantastic. Manoir is a little more peppery, a touch less elegant and concentrated. But it's right there. I'm going to really enjoy the big brother, but for daily sipping, I'll be extremely happy with the 2018 or 2020 Manoir de Gay.
UPDATE (12/9/2023)
Doing a tasting of 2015 Chateau Clinet, 2018 Chateau Nenin, 2019 Chateau Le Gay, and 2018 Manoir de Gay. Chateau Le Gay might be my favorite...with the Manoir de Gay outperforming and definitely better than Nenin. Clinet is very nice...I'd have to explore it more.
My original tasting notes hold up. It's highly fragrant and aromatic. Concentrated, opulent, fine tannins, perfectly judged acidity, and long finish. Delicious.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 29, 2022 - The wine opens with nuances of flowers, truffles, chocolate, espresso and black cherries and wet earth. The deeply colored wine is intense, full-bodied, powerful, mouth-filling and long, finishing with layers of chocolate covered black cherries, plums, and hints of boysenberry. Give it a few years in the cellar and it will offer at least 2 decades of fabulous tasting experiences. Drink from 2027-2055.

June 8, 2020 - Dark in color, this is stunning, due to its multiple layers of chocolate-covered plums, cherries, truffle and silky, gently dusted tannins. Full-bodied, rich, sensuous and concentrated, this is a beautiful example of what Le Gay does best! Aging will add even more to this wine. Made from blending 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc. 95-97 Pts
