Score 82/100 · Drink 2003-2015, Robert Parker, Feb 1998

Lacking the depth, flesh, fruit, and charm that one expects in most Pomerols, this dark ruby-colored wine exhibits an excess of tannin, body, and structure for the amount of fruit it possesses. It will not provide near-term consumption given its severe personality. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.

Low acidity, and good plump, ripe berry fruit with a touch of oak make for a delicious, mouthfilling, inexpensive claret

About the producer

Ch. le Gay
Chateau Le Gay

There’s been lots of change at Ch. le Gay since the Parent family arrived in 2002 – with vineyards replanted, the cellars renovated and the winemaking adjusted. No surprise, perhaps, that quality is now higher than ever.
