Odd - Vray Croix de Gay has kept its old label but La Prieure has not. Wot means? Dunno, but I found this a little more accessible and more itself than Le Prieure this year. It does what this chateau does best, with its silky texture that sinks into the palate softly and gracefully. There is just a little bit of raw wood on the back end to digest.

Quite floral, with red pit fruits, spice, earth and assorted forest leaves. Elegant, silky, soft and polished. Medium-bodied, fresh and focused on the sweetness and purity in the fruits, the wine leaves you with freshness, and energy in the silky, cherry, plum, cocoa and espresso filled finish. 92-94 Pts
