Chateau Gazin, Pomerol, FR, 2020 (Futures) 3-pack 3x750 ml

JS: 97 - This is really fantastic with so much intensity and focus. Firm, linear tannins frame the wine beautifully. Polished and fine. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and posed. Complex flavors of blackberry, black olive, mushroom and bark. Persistent finish. Best of the trilogy?
