2011 Ch. Gazin, Pomerol

Ch. Gazin, Pomerol
Tight, intense and fleshy. Structured but rather chewy, robust tannins. Needs time to settle.
(3/5 Stars -Decanter – Bordeaux 2011 coverage – April 2012)

Ch. Gazin, Pomerol
Gazin is normally a big, backstrapping Pomerol as its vineyard sits between Lafleur and Petrus. However, the 2011 is a softer, more gentle effort with a deep plum/purple color and a sweet bouquet of balsam wood, damp earth, black cherry jam, licorice and a hint of tomato skin. Medium to full-bodied and deep, this Gazin is closed and slightly unformed. I suspect there is more to this wine than it revealed on the several occasions I tasted it. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028.

Ch. Gazin, Pomerol
Still quite primal, with fleshy plum skin, warm raspberry confiture and dark roasted woodspice notes still wrestling a bit with each other. A bit thick on the finish as this seems to have aimed for extraction; it will need to develop some finesse during the élevage for balance.
