Shows some very good depth of fruit and intensity with chocolate, coffee and dark-berry character. Medium to full body. Soft tannins.

Deep greyish crimson. Lifted cassis. A little dilute on the palate, which did not seem to fulfil the promise on the nose, but silky and fresh. (JH)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 La Croix de Gay delivers expressive notes of Indian spices, blackberry pie and blueberry compote with a touch of garrigue. It's medium-bodied with chewy tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing soft and pretty. Apr 2018, www.robertparker.com
