Château Gazin 2015 (750 ml)

Product Info

97 poena - James Suckling

Château Gazin se nalazi na jednom od najprestižnijih platoa u Pomerolu, u neposrednoj blizini nekih od najpoznatijih imanja apelacije. Nekada u vlasništvu Vitezova Hospitalaca, imanje nosi bogatu istoriju. Berba 2015, iz tople i sunčane godine, donosi znatno raskošniji i otvoreniji stil u odnosu na klasičnije berbe, naglašavajući prirodnu punoću Merlot-dominantnog terroira.

Kupaža je predvođena Merlotom, uz podršku Cabernet Sauvignon-a i manjeg udjela Cabernet Franca, što rezultira vinom veće zaobljenosti, bogatstva i ranije pristupačnosti.

U čaši se pokazuje duboka rubin crvena boja sa intenzivnijim, zasićenim tonom. Na nosu je široko i zavodljivo, sa aromama zrele crne trešnje, kompota od šljive i kupine, uz slojeve tamne čokolade, slatkih začina, sladića i nagovještaj tartufa. Na nepcu je punog tijela i obavijajuće, sa baršunastim, mekanim taninima i širom teksturom; voće je bogato i zrelo, sa nešto nižom izraženom kisjelinom u odnosu na 2014, a završnica duga, raskošna i glatka, sa nijansama kakaa, začina i postojanom punoćom.

97 points - James Suckling

Château Gazin sits on one of the most prestigious plateaus in Pomerol, neighboring some of the appellation’s most celebrated estates. Once owned by the Knights Hospitaller, the property carries a rich historical legacy. The 2015 vintage, from a warm and sun-filled year, marks a notably more opulent and forward expression compared to more classical vintages, highlighting the natural generosity of Gazin’s Merlot-dominant terroir.

The blend is led by Merlot, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc, resulting in a wine of greater richness, roundness, and early appeal.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby colour with a more saturated core. The nose is expansive and hedonistic, with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum compote, and blackberry, layered with notes of dark chocolate, sweet spice, liquorice, and a touch of truffle. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with plush, velvety tannins and a broader texture; the fruit is generous and ripe, with lower apparent acidity than 2014, leading to a long, luxurious finish with cocoa, spice, and a lingering, supple richness.
