Château Gloria 2019

James Suckling

Sweet berry and cherry aromas with violets, following through to a medium to full body with creamy, linear tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Tight and curated, in a structured way. Try after 2027.

The nose is fruity, racy and offers concentration and power. There are notes of blackberry, ripe wild strawberry, concentrated violet and a hint of lily, combined with fine touches of blue berries, a hint of Sichuan pepper, as well as a subtle touch of liquorice and a very discreet hint of tobacco. The palate is fruity, balanced and offers roundness, nobility, good structure, concentration and finesse as well as darkness (but all in control). On the palate this wine expresses notes of wild blackberry noise, dense black berries and more slightly liquorice, combined with hints of ripe red berries, star anise, bergamot and fine mocha and toasted notes. Good length. Sapidity. Fine mellowness and sweetness/gourmandise on the finish.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2019 Gloria has turned out very well, delivering aromas of blackcurrants, plums, burning embers and a deft framing of creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated, with a vibrant core of ripe and fleshy fruit, lively acids and powdery structuring tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish, this shows considerable promise.
