JAMES SUCKLING: "Firm, grainy tannins accompany the core of black fruit and bark. Medium-bodied. Stone character. Mineral, with tangy acidity."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2021 Gazin is a fine effort, unfurling in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, plums, incense and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's rather rich and elegantly muscular in the context of the vintage, with a deep core of fruit, powdery tannins and bright acids. Mildew pressure combined with wet conditions that made it impossible to enter the vineyard with tractors delivered low yields of only 18 hectoliters per hectare, and the grand vin is entirely Merlot this year." - William Kelley

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Edelholz, dunkle Beerenfrucht, ein Hauch von Gewürzen, etwas Nougat. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerig, schlanke Textur, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch, zart salzig im Nachhall." - Peter Moser
