James Suckling 92
Very fragrant, but slightly on the sweet side, this is a lavish Pomerol with some nice tannins and acidity coming through at the finish. Drink or hold

The 2016 Vray Croix de Gay is just as stunning from bottle as it was from barrel. Sensual, silky and super-refined, Vray Croix de Gay is positively stellar. A rush of inky red and purplish berry fruit, rose petal, lavender and spice lifts from the glass in a beautifully nuanced, sensual Pomerol. Today, the 2016 is sublime and also a touch more finessed than it was from barrel. That is what elevage is for, after all.

Wine Enthusiast 92
This is a perfumed, juicy wine, with a dry core that's balanced by crisp black-currant fruit. It's spicy, fruity and fresh in bright acidity. Structured, yet fruity, the balance is just right.

Wine Spectator 90
Features solid plum and boysenberry fruit at the core, though this is wrapped in a fair amount of slightly grainy apple wood and balsam notes, while flashes of anise and herb fill in where they can. A little shy on finesse.

The 2016 Vray Croix de Gay, now co-owned by Paul Goldschmidt and Artemis Domaines, has a very composed bouquet with attractive, mineral-infused black and red fruit tinged with black truffle and sage. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle, almost understated opening, almost deceiving as it opens up and gains more and more depth towards the precise and sophisticated finish. Yes, this is a great Vray Croix de Gay that should age in consummate style. This is very fine.
