La Croix De Gay 2020 (750ML)

92-93 JS / 92 DE / 88-90 WA / 89 VM

Fresh and clean with fine tannins and a blueberry and orange peel character. Peaches too. Long and very pretty. One of the best Quinaults for a long time. 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet France and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. - James Suckling

Smoky edge to the aromatics, vanilla, raspberry and coffee grounds. Lacking a little depth through the mid palate. It's enjoyable, and gains in both interest and complexity as it opens up in the glass. Good, if a little inconsistent. A yield of 38hl/ha. Axel Marchal consultant. Tasted twice. - Jane Anson, Decanter

Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 La Croix de Gay rocks up with ready-for-business notes of stewed black plums, black cherry compote and freshly crushed blueberries, plus wafts of tar, aniseed and wild sage. The medium to full-bodied palate has impressive freshness and bags of black fruits, supported by soft tannins, finishing savory. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

The 2020 Cuvée Compostelle has a very well-defined bouquet with black cherries and boysenberry, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a little hardness on the entry, but well balanced. A pleasant pastille-like quality emerges towards the finish with decent length. Enjoy over the next decade. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
