顏色介于深石榴紅和深紫色之間，2019年樂凱堡紅葡萄酒散發(fā)著壓碎的黑櫻桃、溫暖的藍莓以及波森莓的芬芳果香，并帶有細微的雪松、印度香料、甘草和烘烤的氣息。酒體中等至飽滿，成熟的黑色水果風(fēng)味以及辛辣感充斥著口腔，結(jié)構(gòu)堅實，風(fēng)格清新，單寧柔和，余味悠長。

The 2019 Le Gay is rich and powerful, offering up aromas of cherries, berry fruit liqueur, kirsch and dark chocolate, framed by a lavish application of creamy new oak. Full-bodied, broad and layered, it's a ripe, heady wine with low acidity and plenty of powdery tannin, showing a touch of alcoholic heat on the finish. From a site that naturally delivers early and elevated maturity, with heat-retentive gravel over clay soils, it's all fermented in barrel to permit extreme selection, picking small lots within parcels in pursuit of optimal maturity. There's no doubting the quality of the site or the attention to detail in the cellar, but to my palate, this flirts with over-ripeness; my score gives it the benefit of the doubt.
