Château Gazin 2005, located on the Pomerol plateau, has been in the de Bailliencourt family since 1918. This vintage is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc, is considered one of their best vintages. The nose reveals slightly toasted nuances alongside ripe blackberries, black cherries, and floral hints, complemented by touches of spice and truffle. On the palate, the wine demonstrates a smooth and balanced profile, with a moderately long finish. This bottle is now reaching its optimal drinking window.
96 Robert Parker
The 2005 Gazin is a big, masculine, full-throttle Pomerol that comes closer to the style of a Pauillac than some of the other Pomerols. Nevertheless, this wine is locked and loaded, with an inky plum/purple color, stunning concentration, a boatload of tannin, and unlimited upside potential. Sweet cassis, plum, vanilla and truffle notes are followed by a dense, deep, profound wine with blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, high extraction, and a multi-layered texture. This is a long distance runner, even for a 2005, and probably won’t even be close to full maturity for another decade. It should easily last 30 or more years.

95 Vinous
The 2005 Gazin is a powerful, structured Pomerol. Red berry fruit, iron, white pepper, chalk and mint lend quite a bit of brightness. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2005 packs a serious punch, with huge, persistent tannins that lend shape and explosive energy through to the finish.
