2020 Château Gloria, St-Julien

2020 Château Gloria, St-Julien

The 2020 Gloria is a really stunning St-Julien in 2020. There's an exuberence here, but also real poise and delicacy to the tannins. The palate is ample yet with a very fine thread of acidity, and the finish is long and stony. This tastes like a cru classe at double the price. Bravo.

Tasting notes

Very focused and poised with blackberry, blackcurrant and graphite character. It’s full-to medium-bodied with racy tannins and a long, dynamic finish. Will be interesting to see if 2020 is better than 2019.
