Note di degustazione
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)

Powerful and lush, the 2017 Gazin is super-expressive and inviting. Leather, spice, cedar menthol and dried herbs give the 2017 a very pretty, earthy character that works quite well. The 2017 builds nicely in the glass, showing terrific persistence and plenty of character. It will be even better once the tannins soften a touch. Tasted three times.
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.
The 2017 Gazin has a detailed and well defined bouquet, scents of blackberry, undergrowth, black truffle and a touch of lavender gently unfold with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. There is a fine bead of acidity here, classic in style with tertiary, slightly ferrous notes towards the harmonious and persistent finish. Multiple showing evince a Pomerol that is improving day-by-day in bottle, manifesting more sophistication and harmony.
