Description
The 2014 Gloria is a bold, powerful wine. Dark cherry, smoke, licorice, tobacco and underbrush effortlessly fill out its frame. Ample and richly textured, the 2014 offers remarkable depth, power and pure pedigree. Pomegranate, blood orange and iron add further complexity on the finish. This is a superb showing. Tasted two times.
Score: 94

Super aromas of blackberries, minerals, roses and spices. Full body, firm tannins and a long and beautiful finish. Fantastic center palate. Like a tight ball of silky thread. Seamless. Try drinking in 2020.

Chateau Gloria Character and Style
Chateau Gloria is a lighter, elegant style of Saint Julien that is often ready to drink within a few years of release. Yet don’t let that fool you. The wine can also age quite well. The 2009 was the best wine made at this Medoc estate I have ever tasted until the 2010 Gloria was produced until the 2014 was produced, which might be even better!
Chateau Gloria is popular Bordeaux wine with consumers for its early drinkability, charming character and fair prices. It’s a contender for the best Bordeaux value wine from the St. Julien appellation.
