James Suckling Januar 2019:
Exotic aromas of blackberries. truffle. earth and cedar follow through to a full body. rich and layered tannins and a long. long finish. Shows so much here. Exotic. Give it at least three or four years of bottle age. Exuberant. Try from 2023.
Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:
The 2016 Le Gay is terrific. Rich. explosive and vertical in feel. the 2016 is a wine of pedigree and real class. Inky blue and purplish fruit. licorice. lavender all race across the palate. From bottle. Le Gay is more a wine of subtlety and vibrancy than pure power. As good as it is. my impression today is that the fruit is a bit dried out. I liked the 2016 more from barrel.
Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Le Gay has a rock star nose of flamboyant Black Forest cake. crushed redcurrants and lilacs scents with underlying nuances of yeast extract. wood smoke. iron ore and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied. the palate truly struts its stuff with generous black and red fruits and a fantastic line of super ripe tannins. building to a very long. seductively perfumed finish.
