Château Gloria 2017

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

An overperformer in the vintage, the 2017 Gloria exhibits attractive aromas of minty berries and cherries mingled with hints of baking chocolate and cigar wrapper. Medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, with an ample core of juicy fruit framed by melting tannins, this is an elegant, seamless Saint-Julien that already drinks very well.

VertdeVin

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers power, a fine grain and a fine intensity. This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of red berries, grey pepper and small notes of violet associated with touches of raspberry as well as discreet hints of nutmeg. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/acidulous frame, a good definition, juiciness and minerality. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh raspberry, very ripe red berries and small notes of violet associated with a touch of small berries, lily as well as fine hints of liquorice, cardamom and nutmeg. Good length. Tannins are precise.

Wine Enthusiast

An attractive, immediately fruity wine, this also has good tannins. Enticing blackberry flavors give richness as well as freshness. This wine will develop quickly, so drink from 2023.
