  April 17, 2022 - Decanted 30 minutes. Gravelly, violets, red fruited, beef blood and garrigue. This opens up in the glass, there's some funk that comes and goes.

  May 25, 2016 - Medium bodied and finesse in style, the fruits are fresh, spicy and vibrant, but the wine clearly lacks the depth to age for years. You are best off drinking this earthy, red plum filled charmer in its youth.

  April 25, 2014 - Blending 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 13% alcohol and will be aged in 100% new French oak. Not much wine was produced, as the yields were only 18 hectoliters per hectare. Black raspberry, spice, coffee bean and licorice create the floral perfume. There is good sweetness in the fruit, transitioning from black to red cherries. 92-94 Pts

  March 30, 2014 - 2013 editon of En Primeur - Kelly and Kevin’s excellent adventure; 3/26/2014-4/1/2014 (Mostly in Bordeaux and a night in Paris): Lovely ripe yet fresh black fruits, lovely floral note, violet, sweet spices, espresso, mineral and noticeable earth note. Good concentration, very broad, round and silky palate, nicely integrated tannins and long finish. IMO, Le Gays definitely mature earlier than other top Pomerols and this will be start to drink well in 2020.
