Château Gloria Cru Bourgeois St. Julien 2020

Flaschenbewertung (April 2023):
"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."

"The 2020 Gloria is impressive. Bright and punchy, yet quintessentially medium in body, Gloria impresses for its exceptional balance. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint, white pepper and rose petal give this bright, chiseled Saint-Julien so much character. Gloria is such a pretty and inviting Saint-Julien. Tasted two times."

"Opaque purple-black colored, the 2020 Gloria comes soaring out of the glass with notes of blackcurrant cordial, preserved plums and blueberry compote, followed by suggestions of powdered cinnamon, cedar chest and menthol, plus a waft of graphite. The medium to full-bodied palate is completely coated with juicy black fruits, framed by grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 11% Petit Verdot, aging for approximately 14 months in French oak barrels, 40% new. The alcohol is 13.3%."

"Very focused and poised with blackberry, blackcurrant and graphite character. It’s full-to medium-bodied with racy tannins and a long, dynamic finish. Will be interesting to see if 2020 is better than 2019."
94-95/100 Punkte

"Dunkle Beeren und blumige Noten in diesem Bouquet. Am Gaumen hat der Wein Saft, straffe Tannine und eine recht gute Fruchtintensität. Seine Tannine sind leicht cremig und im Einklang mit der Spannung der Säure. Letzteres unterstreicht und unterstützt die Gaumenaromatik ideal. Intensiver und anhaltender Abgang. Ein fruchtiger, frischer und schmackhafter Wein."
