Chateau Gazin 2011

A powerful, virile 2011, Gazin reveals a dense ruby/purple colour, a big, meaty, earthy richness, lots of coffee, black cherry liqueur and spice notes and a full-bodied mouthfeel. It will keep for 15+ years.

93+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate    A powerful, virile 2011, Gazin reveals a dense ruby/purple color, a big, meaty, earthy richness, lots of coffee, black cherry liqueur and spice notes, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. It will benefit from another 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for 15+ years.

92 Points - Wine Spectator    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.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast    This firmly tannic wine has a dry character that lays over lighter fruits. With soft spice and some sweetness, this wine is developing already.
