Other Reviews...
The Château Le Gay 2014 has a tightly wound bouquet with subtle tertiary scents, woodland aromas infusing the red and black berry fruit. This is a more classic take of this Pomerol cru. The palate is very well balanced with fine, supple tannins and nicely judged acidity. It is a dialled back Le Gay compared to recent vintages, one that maintains satisfying balance, if not the peacock's tail that has adorned other vintages. It's no "2010", a wine that I consider a benchmark for the estate, but it will drink nicely over the next 10 to 15 years. Drink 2017-2027.

Principally Merlot fermented in barrel. Rich and ripe. Tannins firm but refined. Oak not quite fully absorbed. Touch of dryness on the finish.

Serious fruit with ripeness and pretty tannic texture. We will see.
