93 FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Pflaumen, ein Hauch von Feigen, etwas Nougat, dezente Kräuterwürze. Saftig, rund und harmonisch, frische Feigen, lebendig strukturiert, mineralisch und gut anhaftend."
17 WEINWISSER: "Undurchsichtiges Purpurrot mit violettem Rand. Verhaltenes, warmes blaubeeriges Bouquet, dahinter Heidelbeerkuchen und Lakritze. Am kräftigen, sehr maskulinen Gaumen mit engmaschigem Körper, stützender Frische und viel Mineralik. Im aromatischen Finale mit schwarzen Johannisbeerdrops und Holunderessenz. Kommt nicht an das Niveau der Vorjahre heran."
93 DECANTER: "This is great and exciting, no question – it’s juicy, firm fruited, well controlled and on the more precise side of the vintage, exactly as was true with 2016. It feels like they have picked the fruits and split them slowly, cleanly, one-by-one. There is flesh here but it’s spliced, pinned, like a Deyrolle specimen, making the clay soils here come alive with a minerality that is normally reserved for limestone. Penelope Godefroy winemaker and Jean Claude Berrouet consultant."
93-94 JAMES SUCKLING: "Very tight and focused with ultra fine tannins that are polished and beautiful. Medium body. Fresh finish."
93-96 ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2018 Vray Croix de Gay is sensual, open-knit and inviting. Rose petal, mint, lavender and spice add striking aromatic presence to a refined, sensual Pomerol that hits all the right notes. Beautifully persistent and layered, Vray Croix de Gay is absolutely gorgeous. This is an especially nuanced, understated style."
92-94 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Truffle, cocoa, cherry and juicy plums start the show. Soft and silky with a nice polish to the tannins and freshness to the fruit, the wine finishes with chocolate covered cherries and earthy, dark pit fruits."
