La Fleur de Gay - 1989 Damaged Label (750ml) Loire Its dense plum/ruby/purple color isPossibly the finest Fleur de Gay made, this rich, very large scaled, tannic wine has a compelling nose of cassis, licorice, white flowers, minerals, and other sorts of black fruits along with some subtle new oak. Full bodied, with great delineation, purity, and dazzling concentration and intensity, this is a fabulous example of a Fleur de Gay and a wine that seems capable of lasting at least another two decades. Anticipated maturity: Now 2020. Robert
