Chateau Le Gay, Pomerol, France 2020 Les Grands Picotins and absolutely bags of stone

and absolutely bags of stone fruit - rich and ripe apricots

This ended up with the highest acidity (after malo) of the Stagård Rieslings – despite sharing the same extended pre-fermentative maturation

and 9% Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in (I believe) all new French oak

lingers for a long time

Chateau Le Gay, Pomerol, France 2020 Les Grands Picotins and absolutely bags of stoneSo much black mushroom to the dark fruit, such as blackberries and bramble berries. Extremely aromatic. Full bodied, yet refined and polished, with lovely tannins and fantastic typicity and complexity. Its so multidimensional and structured, yet theres a weightless character and personality to it. Thought provoking and sophisticated. Real Pomerol. 98 Pts James Suckling
