Tasted at the chateau, the 2006 Le Gay has an intriguing, attractive bouquet with secondary aromas of truffle and dried blood, an almost ferrous verging on animally aroma that renders it a little rustic compared to other vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, savory in the mouth with a touch of bacon fat infusing the red fruit, just a touch of dryness perhaps on the finish, but this is still a great Le Gay that has the structure to suggest it will give another 15 years of pleasure. It will not improve further, but it will hold strong for a few years yet. Tasted March 2016.

Fresh spring flowers, truffle, smoke, black and red plums with forest scents are the first thing you notice. On the palate, the wine is fresh, silky, with a firmness to the tannins that will require more time to soften as the wine continues to fill out. The finish leaves you with fresh, spicy, dark red fruits.
