Raffaele Vecchione - WinesCritic.com
Lively and decisive in the sensory profile showing notes of lavender, hibiscus, guaranà, lemon blossom, lime peel and coriander. A lot of cherries dominate the secondary scene and bring character and shine to the matrix. Full bodied, perfectly mature tannins and a solid, centred finale which shows elegance, strength and modernity. Better from 2025.

On the nose it offers freshness, an excellence richness, a certain complexity, a little fleshy/compact and some depth. It reveals the notes of pulpy/bright blackberry, raspberry and more lightly pulpy small blue currants combined with hints of cherry, cherry blossom, nutmeg as well as hints of toast, vanilla and crushed almond. The palate is fruity, balanced and offers a juicy/tangy frame, minerality, elegance, a good definition, roundness, harmony, a little spherical side. On the palate are notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, fresh/chunky raspberry and more lightly of fleshy/juicy berries associated with small touches of tangy/crushed redcurrant as well as hints of vanilla, violet, nutmeg, and a discreet touch of hazelnut. A subtle hint of cinnamon and sapidity on the finish/persistence. Good length. The tannins are precise, mellow and well conducted.
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Showing even better in the bottle than it did in the barrel, this is a stunning vintage for Gloria which kicks off with a gorgeous display of flowers, currants, espresso, tobacco and cedar. The wine is medium-bodied, with ample layers of fresh, vibrant red and black fruits, soft tannins and a savory edge to the elegant, supple finish. If you have not tasted Gloria for a while, this is a great place to start as it competes with many Classified Growths today. Drink from 2025-2045.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Rich, generous and demonstrative, the 2020 Gloria bursts with aromas of cherries, sweet berries, plum liqueur and cigar wrapper. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous, it will offer a broad drinking window.
Jeb Dunnuck
Just about a perennial must-buy, the 2020 Château Gloria is another terrific vintage for this Saint-Julien château, which always seems to turn out a fabulous wine that sells for a great price. Sporting a deep purple hue as well as impressive aromatics of ripe blackcurrants, plums, camphor, smoked tobacco, and gravelly earth, it's a wine that blossoms with time in the glass. (I followed this bottle for multiple days.) Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has beautifully polished tannins, outstanding balance, and the more focused style of the vintage. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
