Château La Croix de Gay 2019

Description

Milk chocolate, blackcurrants, clove, black pepper, ash, truffle and perfume on the nose - such a lot going on and gives an indication of what's to come on the palate which is serious, savoury and a little sombre at this point. This is quite a dark, knitted-down style, tannic but svelte and charming at the same time. I like the quality of the tannins and there is some bright strawberry juice which gives it a delicate and fresh aspect despite the power. Lots to like and will be even better in time. Drinking window: 2026-2044. Score - 96. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com, Jan. 4, 2022)
