Chateau La Fleur de Gay 1983

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (86)

This wine, which was at its peak several years ago, has begun to drop some fruit and fat. The color remains a dark ruby/garnet with amber at the edge. The nose offers scents of underbrush, and sweet, jammy blackberry and cherry fruit intermixed with tea, smoke, and herbs. This medium-bodied wine is beginning to reveal astringent dried tannin in its finish. The fleshy, full-bodied character the wine possessed in its youth is drying out.

Winespectator (89)

Big, rich and wild. Intense aromas and flavors of black licorice and very ripe fruit. Full-bodied and very velvety.
