Tasting Notes

The 2007 Gazin is a Pomerol that I had not tasted for several years. It has a refined bouquet, not intense or overly complex, but offering pretty truffle-tinged dark berry fruit and a hint of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, linear and masculine in style, tapering in towards a slightly mean finish that could have benefited from more flesh, pulling up short on the aftertaste. Drink soon. Tasted February 2017.

Score: 88

This has a better nose than previous Gazins out of barrel – far less herbaceous than usual. Blackberries and a touch of wild hedgerow and wild strawberry. The palate is medium-bodied, a real succulence to it with good acidity and a sappy finish of black cherries, strawberry and red cherry. Good focus. This is a good Pomerol for the vintage (though it just needs a little more tension on the finish.)

Score: 87 - 89

Blackberry and coffee aromas lead to a full body, with a solid core of tannins and a medium, delicate finish. A little hollow in the midpalate, but clean and well-made. Best after 2013. 6,060 cases made.

Score: 88

Extremely pretty for the vintage, with chocolate, berry and light coffee aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine tannins and a delicate finish. Very well done.

Score: 88 - 91

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 April 2008

Performing better from bottle than it did from barrel, the 2007 Gazin is spicy, but the oak component is more restrained than normal. It is a relatively big-styled wine for a 2007, with impressive richness, a dark ruby/purple color, notes of lead pencil shavings, ink, black currants, sweet dark plums, and balsamic. Cellar it for 1-2 years and consume it over the following 10-15.

Notably dark crimson. Big – lots of mass but not much flavour. Lightly cheesy with marked acidity. A little bit green and astringent. Not much fun.

Appealing wine for relatively early drinking. Medium bodied, supple fruit with a touch more zest than many this year. Cassis notes. Drink 2011-2018.
