Chateau Le Gay 1990

WEINWISSER: "Fein aufhellend, satt in der Mitte. Offene, starke rosinierende Noten, Kamille. Körniger Fluss, trockene Strukturen, erdige Süsse, viel Potential, insgesamt sehr von Honig, Kamille und trockenen Tanninen geprägt, burschikos. Ein Wein fürs Burgunderglas."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Slowly fading from its hedonistic peak, this is still an outstanding wine with plenty of Pomerol character. Flowers, chocolate, licorice, cherry and tobacco scents are right in front of you. Medium bodied, elegant, soft and available, the silky cherries and dark chocolate finishes with a bit of dust in the texture. Popped and poured, decanting is not necessary, and neither is further aging."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Closed and tight yet very concentrated, with muscular tannins. Dark ruby color. Cool stone, berry, cherry and mineral aromas. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a long finish.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2005. 2,000 cases made."
