Neal Martin - Wine Journal
"The La Gorre has a very attractive bouquet with lively, vivacious black cherries, boysenberry and crushed stone that is well defined and opens nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins. The acidity is crisp and the finish tense, with hints of graphite on the finish. This is a well-crafted Cru Bourgeois. Drink now-2018. Tasted September 2012." (11/12)
Product Description:
"55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot. Dark plum fruit on the nose. There's a note that is both a little green and a little overripe. Juicy, relatively soft on the palate. Drink from 2014 to 2017. (JR)" (10/12) - 15 out of 20 Points, Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages.
