FINE+RARE Tasting Note, Jun 2020

Fragrant candied violets, black cherry, cherry stone aromas. Open knit, fruity, fleshy - light structured tannins. Succulent fruit and nice acidity and mineral freshness too. There is a lovely balance to this wine. Elegant with some underlying power with sustain on the finish.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Vray Croix de Gay has a powerful perfume of red roses, candied violets and jasmine tea over a core of stewed plums, black cherry compote and kirsch with wafts of tobacco leaf and powdered cinnamon. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with fragrant red and black fruits, framed by fantastic freshness and plush tannins, finishing long and wonderfully floral.

Quite floral, with red pit fruits, spice, earth and assorted forest leaves. Elegant, silky, soft and polished. Medium-bodied, fresh and focused on the sweetness and purity in the fruits, the wine leaves you with freshness, and energy in the silky, cherry, plum, cocoa and espresso filled finish.
