Blackberries and blueberries with stone and sandalwood undertones. It’s medium- to full-bodied with integrated tannins that are polished and refined. Long finish. Solid and rather muscular. Could move up a notch.

The 2023 Gloria is bright punchy and super-expressive. Red-toned fruit crushed flowers white pepper and mocha are nicely dialed up. this super-classic Saint-Julien delivers the goods. Best of all it should be a great value. Drink 2030-2053.

An attractive effort the 2023 Gloria offers up aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with subtle hints of violets and licorice. It's medium to full-bodied taut and lively with good depth and persistence. This blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon 35% Merlot 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet France is the third and final vintage of organic conversion at Gloria.

The 2023 Gloria presents a deep purple hue. It has a succinct bouquet with black cherries red plum and pronounced floral aromas that emanate from the Petit Verdot. The palate is medium-bodied with bright blackberry and raspberry fruit quite a minerally Gloria with a more linear stricter finish than the 2022 as you would expect. There’s also fine salinity here. This is a classy Gloria that just misses the panache of recent vintages (and of the 2023 Saint-Pierre).
