Media Reviews
Robert Parker
A powerful, virile 2011, Gazin reveals a dense ruby/purple color, a big, meaty, earthy richness, lots of coffee, black cherry liqueur and spice notes, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. It will benefit from another 3-4 years of cellaring and should keep for 15+ years. 93+ points
Jean-Marc Quarin
Beautiful purplish crimson with garnet hues. Plenty of fruit on the nose. Well-threaded and voluptuous palate boasting fat and a substantial mid-palate yet remaining delicate in its touch. Laden with fruit on finish - with sap, flavours and well-coated tannins. Lovely, well-structured wine.
Neal Martin
A blend of 90% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon the Gazin 2011 has a fine nose that unfurls nicely with aeration, revealing ripe black cherries and raspberry fruit that is in synch with theoak. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins on the entry. There is fine minerality here, good substance, the smectite clay coming to Gazin’s aid in this dry season and lending more body towards the finish. This should merit long-term ageing. 91-93 points
