Parker about Château La Croix de Gay 2000
Starting in 2000, Cabernet Sauvignon was eliminated from the final blend, resulting in a more interesting wine. The dark plum/ruby-colored 2000 is deep, textured, rich, and concentrated. Black fruits, earth, toast, and mocha characterize this medium-bodied, impressively-endowed yet elegant Pomerol.
