95 poena - Vinous (Neal Martin)

Château Gloria je jedinstvena priča o uspjehu u Bordeauxu, koju je Henri Martin tokom 20. vijeka strpljivo gradio parcelu po parcelu, okupljajući vinograde sa nekih od najboljih terroira Saint-Juliena—uprkos tome što imanje nije uključeno u klasifikaciju iz 1855. godine. Danas konstantno dostiže nivo klasifikovanih imanja, nudeći izuzetan kvalitet i autentičan izraz apelacije.

Berba 2020, iz tople i koncentrisane godine, zasniva se pretežno na Cabernet Sauvignon-u, uz Merlot, Cabernet Franc i Petit Verdot, pružajući i strukturu i bogatstvo.

U čaši se pokazuje duboka rubin crvena boja sa ljubičastim odsjajem. Na nosu je bogato i izražajno, sa aromama crne ribizle, kupine i tamne trešnje, uz slojeve kedra, grafita, začina i nagovještaj kakaa. Na nepcu je srednjeg do punog tijela, sa zrelim, finim taninima i dobrim balansom; voće je bogato, ali precizno, a završnica duga i uglađena, sa izraženom mineralnošću, začinima i odličnom ravnotežom.

95 points - Vinous (Neal Martin)

Château Gloria is a unique success story in Bordeaux, assembled parcel by parcel by Henri Martin in the 20th century from some of the finest terroirs of Saint-Julien—despite not being included in the 1855 Classification. Today, it consistently performs at a level comparable to classified growths, offering exceptional value and a pure expression of the appellation.

The 2020 vintage, from a warm and concentrated year, is based predominantly on Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, delivering both structure and richness.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby colour with violet reflections. The nose is generous and expressive, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, layered with notes of cedar, graphite, spice, and a hint of cocoa. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with ripe, finely textured tannins and balanced acidity; the fruit is rich yet precise, leading to a long, polished finish with mineral depth, spice, and excellent balance.
