    December 7, 2023 - A very nice wine, pretty developed, still primary fruit notes, but overall velvety merlot driven wine with earthy black currants, some cloves and warm spices. i have my reservation when it comes to 2005 as a vintage, in Bordeaux in particular, but this wine stands nicely and drinks well. it is just that little hint of firmness that recalls some faint memories of other 2005s in a more reductive state.

    August 27, 2023 - Chocolaty, ripe dark fruit and coffee notes. Very fine structure on the palate. Dark ripe fruit balanced with soft tannins and mild acidity. Peak minus, perhaps and lacking a bit of depth but overall very enjoyable.

    June 24, 2023 - BBQ late Jun 2023: not decanted; tasted over 3 hours; dark Rubin color; intense bouquet of sour cherries plus red and dark berry aromas; on the palate like cherry juice, well-balanced by a mild fruit acidity; graceful texture; still strongly tannic in the cheeks.

    In 2012 I tasted my last bottle of Gazin 2005 (see my CT note). Then the wine was still in adolescence and kind of restrained.
    Now 11 years later the wine has reached early maturity, nearly fully opened up and showed an excellent, almost outstanding quality level.

    Chateau Gazin 2005 composition: 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc; 13.5% vol. alcohol.
