CHATEAU GLORIA (750ML)

One of the better-known Crus Bourgeois of the Medoc, still at reasonable prices. Chateau Gloria is made up of holdings of classified Crus and would deserve to be classified in its own right. Recent vintages have found all their character again, in the tradition of the great Saint-Julien wines.

Deep, dark, practically opaque ruby red. Aromas are restrained and cedary. The palate has a substantial structure, the red/ black fruit is baked & quite earthy. Acid is a little low, alcohol is balanced & the finish is of reasonable length. This is a wine of power rather than elegance.
