Château Gazin
Château Gazin, Pomerol, 2008
justerini & brooks tasting note
A 26 hectare plot situated to the east of Pomerol next to Petrus and Evangile; predominantly on clay and gravel soils. Overtones of damsons, flowers and sloes, this wine has remarkable finesse. A cool style built on elegance, freshness and generous sweet fruit.
critic reviews
90/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2008 Gazin has a perfumed bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, black truffle and iris, broody at first but responding immediately to aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, initially a little disjointed and I would have liked more depth and concentration to come through on the linear, straight-laced finish. It is a fine Gazin albeit one superseded by recent vintages. (Tasted at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual 10-Year On tasting.)
