2012 Gazin Rocquencourt

Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting. The 2012 Gazin-Rocquencourt Blanc has an agreeable apple peel and walnut oil bouquet that just needs a little more delineation. The palate is fresh on the entry with a keen line of acidity, light and airy, but it is lacking some depth on the grapefruit-tinged finish. Not bad, though I have tasted better vintages in recent years. Tasted January 2016. Oct 2016, www.robertparker.com
