Chateau Gloria St Julien 2005

Part of the Domaines Henri Martin’s portfolio, Château Gloria is a charming wine producer situated in the Saint-Julien appellation. This release is from the 2005 vintage, considered one of the true vintages of the decade by many experts. The wine offers a silky texture and a ripe fruit core, ranging from plums to dark chocolate to toasted oak. Drinking perfectly well now.

This wine is glorious so to speak with loads of exuberant fruit and plenty of cedary forest floor, Christmas fruitcake, blackcurrant and cherry fruit. This dark ruby/purple-coloured wine is again an over-achieving beauty. Drink it over the next 15 or so years.
