CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Gazin has a beautifully fragrant nose of potpourri, chocolate-covered cherries and spiced mulberries with a core of warm plums and cherry cordial plus a waft of wild blueberries. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and earthy.

Tasted blind. The nose is very awkward at this stage, with a green, tinned-pea note. It is hard to discern exactly why this is, but it is fairly consistent from two bottles opened. Quite silky and well-structured on the palate but the fruit profile is still somewhat jarring as on the nose. The finish is cedary, driven and shows some juicy fruit. (TP)
