Note di degustazione
This 100% Merlot was by far the most powerful Pomerol of the vintage, displaying a nose full of opulent red plums and spice. Nevertheless, it is fresh, but still very young.

The 2012 Gazin is backward compared to its peers with introverted black fruit, black truffle and quite conspicuous cedar notes implying some Cabernet contribution. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy entry: white pepper infused red fruit, fine balance, modest depth with gentle grip. This is nicely proportioned and demonstrates assiduous winemaking. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.
Tasted blind. Light but convincing nose. Then teeters on the edge of oxidation on the palate. Drying finish. Though it’s certainly long. Quite a conundrum. Decent finish. (JR)
