Michael Schuster: Sweet, spicy, faintly raisiny, blackberry-ripe fruit on the nose; full-bodied and powerful for Gazin, concentrated; very firmly, drily, but not coarsely tannic, all with an attractive freshness, too; sweetly ripe fruit but also with a clear underlying minerality, long and tight to taste, sapid, quite velvety in texture, with the tannins nicely coated by the fruit mass; quite fat yet remaining elegant, and with excellent, warmly spicy, scented length. Excellent Gazin. 12–15 years? 2022–35+. 16.5/17.5
