WINEMAKER NOTES: Château Gazin 2016 is a concentrated red wine with a nose of violet flowers, notes of ripe black fruits like plum, blackberry and kirsch and spicy touches of anise, sandalwood and vanilla. On the palate it is seductive, velvety and elegant. It reveals a silky texture and a fragrant and persistent finish.

JAMES SUCKLING (95) :  This sophisticated Pomerol slowly creeps up on you, then suddenly you’re in the deep end. The complex and delicate, floral and mangosteen aromas are married to a great tannin structure and nothing about this wine is a jot exaggerated. Long, mineral and spice finish with a weightless quality. Drink or hold.

ROBERT PARKER'S (95) : Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Gazin features a beautifully perfumed nose of violets, Ceylon tea, cigar box, sandalwood and fallen leaves over a core of plum preserves, kirsch and blackberry preserves plus a waft of aniseed. Medium-bodied and elegant, with compelling restraint, it has a seductively plush texture, finishing with bags of poise, perfume and persistence.

WINE SPECTATOR 91-94  : Ripe and engaging, with a pretty display of cherry, raspberry and blueberry fruit flavors that stay fresh, carried by silky structure through the inviting finish. Not super-dense, but really lovely fruit. (JM)  (4/2017)
