The complex and delicate, floral and mangosteen aromas are married to a great tannin structure and nothing about this wine is a jot exaggerated. Long, mineral and spice finish with a weightless quality. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"346\" data-end=\"396\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"346\" data-end=\"396\"\u003e95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"398\" data-end=\"784\"\u003eMedium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Gazin features a beautifully perfumed nose of violets, Ceylon tea, cigar box, sandalwood and fallen leaves over a core of plum preserves, kirsch and blackberry preserves plus a waft of aniseed. Medium-bodied and elegant, with compelling restraint, it has a seductively plush texture, finishing with bags of poise, perfume and persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"815\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"815\"\u003e94 Points - Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1236\"\u003eA rich and elegant Gazin, cohesive yet still extremely young. You can taste the Cabernets coming through strongly, an elegant, stately expression of cassis with a silky texture and nice balance. The palate is intense and concentrated but with a real sense of lift. It's always a wine that takes its time to show its colours as it's a touch austere in its first five to eight years, but this is going to age beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003e92 Points - Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1275\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003eThis is fresh in feel despite some frankly ripe cherry compote and plum pâte de fruit notes, with light floral and tea nuances imparting lift. Silky overall, with some sneaky grip at the very end adding length. Offers lovely, seductive fruit.

Vivid ruby\/purple-colored, with notes of cassis and black raspberries as well as spring flowers, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, firm tannins, terrific purity, and a clean finish. The blend is 87% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Cabernet Franc. It’s going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15+.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connect Logistics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43882203119846,"sku":"848124","price":267.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/chateau-gazin-pomerol-2021_800x_be626f85-36ce-4d4e-9809-0e1881dd8d2b.webp?v=1734069928","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/ch-gazin","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
