Château la Croix de Gay 2009 Red (Pomerol)

Price $40

There is huge fruit here, with the tannins firmly packed into the dark fruit character. Juicy Merlot is perfumed, open, swathed in rich robes. A wine for medium-term aging. — R.V. (2/1/2012)

90-92 Barrel sample. Spicy new wood opens a wine that is rather stretched, taut. The opulence of Merlot Pomerol is not there, but it has been replaced by a structured wine. When the wood calms down, this will be serious. — R.V. (12/31/2009)

Château la Croix de Gay 2011 Barrel sample Red (Pomerol)

Online Exclusive

89-91. Barrel sample. Here is a smoky, juicy wine, its tannins soft and gentle while also showing ripe spice and mouthwatering acidity. The dry tannins at the end provide structure. — R.V. (5/11/2012)

Online Exclusive

88-90 Barrel sample. A ripe, smooth, almost velvety wine that has big depths of flavor and solid tannins, but seems one-dimensional in its profile. — R.V. (6/21/2006)

Château la Croix de Gay 2005 Red (Pomerol)

A wine that is dominated by new, spicy wood to the detriment to the fruit. You can feel the fruit, suggesting weight, but not taste it. If this wood calms down, then this could become a rich, velvety wine, but not yet. — R.V. (6/1/2008)

Château la Croix de Gay 2010 Barrel sample Red (Pomerol)

88-90 While it is dense, the wine does not have structure. It seems diffuse, the berry fruit element not in balance with the tannins. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

Château la Croix de Gay 2012 Barrel sample Red (Pomerol)

Online Exclusive

86–88. Barrel sample. The generous fruit on this wine is so ripe and juicy, it's almost too much. Tannins and a deep, dry core do give the wine some shape, but the fruit shows excessive ripeness. — R.V. (4/9/2013)
