Chateau Gazin 2010

Wow! This wine exceeded my enthusiastic barrel tasting notes. A big,
back-strapping blockbuster from Gazin, in which the oak seems to be
pushed into the background (thankfully), the wine offers up notes of
caramelized black cherry and black currant fruit interwoven with mocha,
white chocolate, subtle toast and hints of coffee beans and tobacco
leaf. The exceptional aromatics are easily followed up by a full-bodied,
powerful, broodingly backward, rich, intense wine with multiple
dimensions, layers of fruit, and a sensational finish of close to a
minute. This is one of the all-time great efforts from Gazin. It should
be forgotten for 6-10 years and drunk over the following 30 to 40. (by Robert Parker)
