Extremely attractive now, but will reward those with patience. Beautiful aromas of berries and chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a lovely, berry-vanilla aftertaste

This deep rubypurple-colored wine has shut down following bottling, and while it hints at some of its exotic grilled herb and meat-like character, the reluctant nose reveals primarily new oak, smoke, spice, and background jammy fruit. On the palate, the wine is deep, medium to full-bodied, refined, and except for some noticeably hard tannin in the finish, relatively seamless. This expansively-flavored wine offers plenty of spice, new oak, fruit, and depth.

The maturity gives them a nose of spices, perfumes of truffles, underbrush notes and animals as game, fur, leather .... In the mouth, they are characterized by their refined tannins, balance and concentration brightened by a delicate woodland. . Feminine, charming, because of the dominance of Merlot, the wines are tasted pleasantly GAZIN Castle, after several years of aging, but they deserve most often wait fifteen, twenty or more years. .
