What the critics say:
"A brilliant wine from a great vintage in St Julien, rich, silky and utterly delicious. Espresso, cocoa, creamy blackberry and cassis, with juicy depths, spellbinding, concentrated and full of charm and character. 45% new oak. Remi di Constanzo technical director."
"Deepest crimson. Very ripe and dark-fruited with a slight charry note. Rich and chocolatey on the palate, with only just enough freshness to balance the generous fruit. Tannins are fine, smooth, more rounded than you might expect in a young St-Julien. Deep-fruited and long, and great for those who are looking for softness more than freshness."
"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."
