Delightful. Notes of wood, earth, leather, tobacco. Beautifully integrated with a smooth balanced mouth feel. This is in a wonderful place now with a decade or more of drinking, imho.

30 minutes in the glass. An interesting wine. Blueberries, mocha and plenty of green veggie elements that were distracting, but not so much as to keep you from going back for more. If you don't like the green veggie element, you'd probably score this at 89. Very smooth and rich mouthfeel.

(CHATEAU LE GAY) #1; COLOR-great; NOSE-loaded w/ real cinnamon stick flavors, lots of coffee & mocha, very intriguing; TASTE-explosive on the palate, enormous amount of sour cherry, great rigid structure all the way through, phenomenal grip, this OWNS your palate, earthy flavors, well-balanced, flavors that go on for days, extremely long finish, young, but drinking beautifully now, firm tannins & a bite on the finish, the 30-40 year potential is shocking & exciting, I'm BLOWN away by this wine; RP-91-94; GV-94

Classic Bordeaux. PnP. Pencil shavings and earth. Full of flavor and nice texture. Very similar to previous notes. My last bottle.
