Often excessively woody in its youth, Gazin appears to have toned down the wood component, resulting in a more savory and balanced wine. The finest effort produced since 2001, the 2006 is a supple, concentrated, rich Pomerol offering up aromas of cedar, plums, black cherries, and subtle new oak. This opulent, dense, structured, big wine is another outstanding success from an appellation that excelled in 2006. - Robert Parker
