Tasting notes
After years of mediocrity, Gazin has begun to move in the right direction. The turnaround started with the 1988, which is a wonderfully seductive, rich, sweet, broad-flavored, hedonistic wine, with light tannins, a rich, savory texture, and a satiny, alcoholic finish. Moreover, who can ignore the big bouquet of herbs, mocha, and sweet fruit? Anticipated maturity: Now-2003.
