2016 Château Gloria, St-Julien (Ex-Chateau 2026)

Very classical in profile from a real overachiever of the appellation. Notes of pencil shaving and cedary complexity lift from the ripe cassis fruit. There is a fine, classical energy here with a drive and focus through the palate. Delicious and good value.

Tasting notes

Sweet and energetic and very glossy. Just a little austere on the end. Bone dry. Quite demanding. Just not quite enough ripe fruit for the not inconsiderable tannins.

16.5/20

Dense and layered red with berry and tobacco character, a full body and a savory finish. Got it all here.
