Tasted blind. Deeply coloured. Riper than most on the nose. Chewy texture but with an honesty and wholesomeness that just needs more time. (JH)
The 2013 Gazin has a light, tertiary woodland-scented bouquet with rather broody black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with red berry, cedar and graphite on the entry, dry tannins with some hardness towards the finish that will hopefully soften with bottle age. Disjointed at the moment, leave this a couple of years because there is presence here. It just needs its component parts to knit together and hopefully they will with bottle age, hence the plus sign next to my score.
Dark and a little meaty on the nose. That savoury character continues on the a dry-textured mid palate. All a bit lean and dry. (JH)
