Château Gazin 2020

So much depth and complexity in this bouquet! It shines with its freshness and fruity intensity. On the palate the wine is compact, creamy and very elegant. Its tannins are powerful and serene in the way they reveal themselves. The aromatic expression is dazzling and marks the entire palate, right through to the finish. A wine of rare precision and great finesse. I think he will mark the history of Gazin and that we will talk about him in a few more decades. 2025-2055 97-99/100

This is really fantastic with so much intensity and focus. Firm, linear tannins frame the wine beautifully. Polished and fine. It's full-bodied, yet tight and posed. Complex flavors of blackberry, black olive, mushroom and bark. Persistent finish. Best of the trilogy?

Dark purple color with violet hue and black core. Rich nose with distinct fruit, ripe blackberries, blackcurrant jam, sweet elderberries, wild strawberries, mocha and dark chocolate, hints of vanilla and mild spices in the background. With some oxygen a discreet touch of violets appears in the background. On the palate rich with freshness and great elegance, the aroma of the nose is repeated on the palate. Very elegant, persistent and charming with great depth and length.

I love this, extremely classic Gazin, which has depth and pep, and a jaunty feel to the black fruits. The freshness keeps the core of this wine firm from beginning to end, as do the chewy tannins. This is not an exuberant vintage but at this particular estate it suits the personality because it is always fairly old school and classic. For the first time no Cabernet Franc in the blend, just Cabernet Sauvignon. A yield of 35hl/ha. No added sulfur during fermentation. Tasted twice, there are plenty of tannins here but it is highly successful.
