DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Château Gloria is a Saint-Julien estate in Bordeaux's Médoc. It sits outside the 1855 classification, yet Decanter calls it one of the most exciting insider wines in Bordeaux, and Jeb Dunnuck ranks 2018 among its finest vintages.
The 2018 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, aged in oak barrels, a good share of them new. It is full-bodied and deeply colored, with cassis, blackberry, blueberry and licorice, plus leafy herbs, black tea and a graphite note underneath. The tannins are polished and ripe, and the finish is long. Rich and fleshy, yet still tight and structured for now.
Decant it for an hour or two and serve at 60 to 65°F in a large Bordeaux glass. It suits roast lamb, a ribeye or duck breast with cherries, and hard cheeses like aged Comté. Critics expect it to keep improving for many years.
James Suckling: 94 points. Jeb Dunnuck: 94 points. Wine Enthusiast: 94 points. Wine Spectator: 93 points. Decanter: 93 points. Wine Advocate: 92 points.
