Count me in the fans of this wine!! based on the ageability of the 1982, I decided to buy a few cases of similar vintage and burried 5 cases of Gloria 2009 in my cellar… no regrets so far
2009 Château Gloria - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien (12-02-16)
Very nice nose of characoal, black fruit, cigar box, cedar… Nice red cherries, super silky tannins, perfect balance, not super concentrated but very well made! (92 pts.)
