"The finest Le Gay produced since the post World War II era the 2005 even eclipses the fabulous 1982 and 1989. This inky/purple-hued effort reflects the commitment of proprietress Catherine Pere-Verge. An extraordinary perfume of blueberries blackberries flowers truffles and a touch of steely minerality is followed by a massive wine of exceptional concentration a multilayered texture phenomenal purity and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. It is a massive old style pure rich Pomerol that should only be purchased by patient connoisseurs as gratification will need to be deferred for at least a decade."
"Dark purple in color with aromas of coffee green olive blackberry and dried flowers. Full-bodied with very polished yet present tannins and a long rich fruity finish. "
