The 2019 Gazin Bordeaux Blend hails from the stunning and world-renowned wine region of Pomerol, Bordeaux, France. This gorgeous red blend is a testament to the mastery of its producer, Gazin, and the fertile terroir of its birthplace.
In this striking blend, Merlot takes the lead with 88.5%, accompanied by 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and a final 4.5% of Cabernet Franc. The result is a wine of exceptional balance and complexity, offering a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate.
On the nose, you are greeted with a veritable bouquet of mulberries, plums, chocolate orange, and cloves, with a tantalizing hint of toffee. This aromatic profile paves the way for the sensory journey to follow. The palate is medium to full-bodied, echoing the nose with a rich core of dark fruit. Firm, ripe tannins lend structure and depth, while the wine's velvety texture caresses the palate.
As you delve deeper into the tasting experience, layers of ripe blackcurrant, red cherries, raspberries, and strawberries emerge, punctuated by notes of mint, black pepper, and truffle. A seductive dark chocolate edge adds a touch of indulgence, balanced by excellent precision and density.
The finish of the 2019 Gazin is just as impressive as its beginning. It reveals a cooling blend of liquorice and mint, with a gentle hint of salinity that leaves you longing for the next sip. This is a wine of power and muscle, yet it carries its strength with grace and suppleness.
The experts agree, with high scores from James Suckling, Decanter, Vinous, Jeb Dunnuck, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Jane Anson, and Jeff Leve, reflecting its exceptional quality. This is a wine destined for greatness, and it would be a worthy addition to any discerning collector's cellar.
