Tasting notes
Young and full-bodied with a dense plum/garnet color, the 2003 Gazin offers up sweet aromas of cedarwood, red and black fruits, and mocha. A strong Pomerol for the vintage, it is still exuberant and fresh although the finish becomes increasingly dry as well as astringent. Drink it up.

Deep garnet. Spicy, warm, dark-fruit and cedar notes. Much more cedary on the palate and some dark fruit but it is a bit harsh and hard. (JH)
Attractive violet edged dark fruit, quite sweet. Soft and full in the mouth, just a little flat and lacking verve and then a bit dry on the finish. (JH)
Crimson. Furry, quite intense nose. Big bloody/meaty start and then quite austere tannins kick in. Lively and still quite youthful. Vigorous. (JR)
