Château Gazin 2013 (75cl)

A red wine from Château Gazin in Pomerol, vintage 2013, in a 75cl bottle. Gazin is a well-regarded Pomerol estate, Merlot-led like most of the appellation. 2013 was a cooler, more difficult Bordeaux vintage, so this is one for drinking now rather than holding. Pomerol does not use the 1855 classification system. Pomerol reds are usually Merlot-dominant, giving plum and dark cherry fruit with a plush, rounder texture than Left Bank Cabernet-based wines. A cooler vintage like 2013 tends to show lighter body.
