The soy-sauce and savory aromas really make this stand out, but behind it are some very nice fruit and elegant tannins. This is a very well-made modern Pomerol with a lot of potential that needs some time to reveal its full class. Give it five or six years of bottle age.

The 2014 Gazin was stubborn and broody when tasted in bottle, but give it a few swirls and there comes forth gravel and black truffle scents alongside sultry black fruit. These aromatics are so engaging and involving, drawing you in towards it charms. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and taut with great precision and sappiness towards the focused, almost symmetrical, black truffle-laced finish. This continues Gazin's fine run of form, a great Pomerol from an estate predisposed these days to create sophisticated, classic wines. - Neal Martin

Luscious, round, supple textured, ripe, sweet, dark red fruits, with ripe flavors and a polished, silky finish are found here. This is really quite nice from start to finish. Read more at:https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/search-wine-tasting-notes/?szSearch=2014+Gazin

Undemonstrative but dense and powerful. Solid fruit and tannin. Austere at present with firm but rounded tannins. Good but will need time. Read more at http://www.decanter.com/wine-reviews/france/bordeaux/chateau-gazin-pomerol-bordeaux-france-2014-19278#ToGS8iR8CzgDpLPV.99

The 2014 Gazin has a Merlot-driven bouquet with orange pith-infused red fruit, hints of rusty piping and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, elegant though not complex. I can appreciate the harmony of this Pomerol and the spiciness that comes through on the finish, though it is not a "keeper". Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. -- Neal Martin

Solid, with a core of juicy raspberry and blackberry preserve flavors, harnessed by singed sandalwood and firm black tea notes. Shows a tug of earth through the finish, leaving a slightly dusty feel in the end. Best from 2018 through 2026. 5,417 cases made. — JM
