Gloria 2025 (3L)

92-94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2025 Gloria is fabulous. Bright, floral and full of life, Gloria is so impressive. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, cinnamon and dried herbs all add energy to this delicious, mid-weight Saint-Julien. Gloria is especially fine in 2025. Don’t miss it. Taste two times." 04/26

93 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: "This has a ton of intense cassis and bilberry fruits, lovely quality, this has balance and finesse, squid ink squid, cocoa bean, espresso, silky tannins, a very impressive wine. Yield 20 hl/ha." 04/26

94-95 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A solid red, structured and textured, showing cherries and baking spices on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with sinewy tannins. Crunchy at the center, with a flavorful, vivid and persistent finish." 04/26

93-95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2025 Gloria was picked between September 10 and 19 and matured in 50% new oak. It has a lovely bouquet with well-defined blackberry, violet and crushed stone scents, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, grainy tannins, good concentration and a tensile, minerally finish. Bon vin." 05/26

93-95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Sporting a vivid purple hue, the 2025 Château Gloria offers up cassis, assorted red and blue fruits, liquid violets, and classy oak. Based on 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc that's being raised in 50% new barrels, it's pure and incredibly polished on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, a silky, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. It checks in at 13.2% alcohol. As I've written in the past, the quality at this estate continues to soar, and this will hold its own in a blind tasting with some of the top wines with ease. This château needs to be on everyone's radar." 05/26

93 Points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter: "Bramble fruit aromas on the nose. Supple and so controlled with a gorgeous weight on the palate – ripe, filling tannins with a cool vein of freshness that just carries the frame. Not overly acidic or too bright, more controlled and calm with a complexity of flavours and textures. Chewy blackcurrant, liquorice and stones. It’s a touch short and compact on the finish but this will elongate over ageing. Lots to like here. Balanced with an elegant touch. 4% Cabernet Franc completes the blend." 03/26
