As you see on the label and in glass, Vray Croix de Gay 1994 Pomerol 12.5% 馃嵎
What can we expect from a prized appellation historic bottle? Without furthering to-dos let’s get in! 馃挜馃憡馃徏 Advance with caution, great tasting notes, full drama, much humour but I am slightly rude, well quite a fair bit .. pour a glass & relax! You don’t get 1994 in a glass every day!

For inspiration hear my second afternoon’s tasting next day 馃憞馃徏
These elderly wines either blossom or die on a second day
