Interesting game. I don't play the french much, but here are my thoughts...
I don't like your 6 Bg5. What does it accomplish? If I were Black I would respond with Qb6! and your Bishop is missed at home. I do like that you brought it back to e3 after h6.
7...c4 is terrible.
After 8...Qb6, I prefer Qc1 instead of b4. Remember, you want the queenside to remain calm and to attack on the kingside. Qc1 would also coordinate with the bishop on e3.
Fortunately, Black never comes up with a coherent plan of attack. I would have played axb4 on move 10 (as Black) to gain a protected passed pawn. 10...axb4 exposes the weakness of White's queenside advance.
Quite the kingside attack there at the end. My gut tells me Black had to releave his cramp with exf5 at some point, then get his knight to e6. I would go over this area with an analysis engine to see if the attack could have been executed more quickly.
Nice game.

White can win some moves before: 31.g6+ Kh8, (31....QxB, 32 RxQ) 32.Qh5+ Bh6, (32... Kg8, 33.Qh7++) 33.Qxh6+ Kg8, 34.Qg7++

Instead 6.Bg5!? I prefer Ne2 To castle quickly. As said Anaxagoras 7. ... c4 is terrible ! 10. ...axb4 and c4 become a future passed pawn ! 12. Rc1? but 12. Rb1 !
14. Ne2 Finally ! 18. Qc1 I prefer 18. Qa3 or 18. Qb2 to give the open column to the Rook. 19. f4 is logical.( I am commenting and viewing the game in the same time ) before I go on, I think White wants to play in th King side ! 21. f5 !! good ! 22. Nf4 going to black King ! 22. ...Nd8?? 24. Bxh6!! of course. 27. Bb1? 27. Nf6 ! and the black king is in danger try to analyse this variant! 31. f6 is better discovering the Bb1! And 35. ...Qg1+ suicide. Bravo a_geldyev. It's the first game I comment. Thanks ! You give me the opportunity to review the French opening!!!
