Gazin’s 2008 is a big masculine styled Pomerol. The nose is oozing with licorice, mocca , black currants, plums and Asian spices. On the palate quite firm, full-bodied and dense with a very good concentration balanced by a strong framwork of tannins. Sadly the concentration is matched by a quite high alcohol content for a 2008 (14%). The alcohol is quite present in the finish and really pulling down the overall impression of an otherwise very fine wine.
(Drink From 2020) Fine – 91p
