Score 92/100 · Drink 2016-2026, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, May 2016

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Gazin has a delightful bouquet with small dark cherries, blueberry and iodine aromas, completely different to the 2006 Nénin, much more vigorous and cohesive. This is a bouquet with a sense of purpose. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannin, respectable depth and complexity towards the finish with delicate, slightly leafy, truffle-tinged red fruit. This seems to be at its peak now and comes highly recommended. Tasted January 2016.

Score 17/20 · Drink 2013-2030, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2016

Tasted blind. Blackish ruby. Mildly exotic, flattering nose with nothing out of place. Very attractive and fleshy. Lots of pleasure. Quite long. (JR)

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2016-2026, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2016

Blackish crimson. Good lift. Quite moderate and juicy. Nice appetising, relatively early-drinking stuff. Good balance and nothing forced. (JR)
