Domaines Martin Château Gloria Saint-Julien Bordeaux

Millésimes / Vintages / Notes
CHÂTEAU GLORIA  St.-Julien 2015
Score: 93

Tasting Note
Well-steeped plum, fig and boysenberry fruit is richly layered, supported by embedded brambly grip and backed by waves of ganache and sweet tobacco on the finish. This has plenty of energy to carry it in the cellar while it rounds into form. Best from 2023 through 2038.

CHÂTEAU GLORIA St.-Julien 2014
Score: 91

Tasting Note
A grippy style, with a pleasantly rugged edge to the copious brambly tannins that push the core of plum and blackberry reduction along. Lots of licorice snap and tobacco notes show on the finish, which offers persistent grip. Delivers more guts than polish, but will age solidly. Best from 2020 through 2030

CHÂTEAU GLORIA St.-Julien 2011
Score: 90

Tasting Note
Mouthfilling, offering a fleshy, briary feel to the plum sauce, steeped currant and blackberry notes, with extra anise, tar and fruitcake details pumping through the finish. Lacks a little refinement in terms of structure, but this offers solid range and depth. Best from 2016 through 2024.
