Tasting notes
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Gazin is a Pomerol that I had not tasted for several years. It has a refined bouquet, not intense or overly complex, but offering pretty truffle-tinged dark berry fruit and a hint of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, linear and masculine in style, tapering in towards a slightly mean finish that could have benefited from more flesh, pulling up short on the aftertaste. Drink soon. Tasted February 2017.

Deep garnet and a ruby rim. Spicy black fruit and dark chocolate. Savoury and inviting on the nose. Even a touch of char in its dark character. Pretty dry in texture and a bit of a gap in the middle so it does not persist much on the finish. There’s freshness but not much depth. (JH)
Crimson with a hint of purple. Light nose and a tad austere. Not much juice. Not much verve but correct. Rather a weak finish. (JR)
