"The 1989 La Croix de Gay is unusually deep, concentrated, and full-bodied, with excellent tannin and extract levels. The acidity is low, but the high tannins and the elevated alcohol level should allow this wine to age well... It is the most impressive young La Croix de Gay I have tasted, reflecting this estate's increasing attention to detail and commitment to excellence."
- Wine Advocate, February 1993
"Wonderfully perfumed '89, of strawberry, vanilla and cherry flavors. Medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a delicious fruity aftertaste. Lovely glass of wine."
- Wine Spectator, May 1993
