balanced by moderate tannins and a medium level of acidity

while well-measured tannins and a touch of toasted oak provide balance and structure

2016 Chateau Gloria, Saint-Julien, France (750ml) Lime Beautiful garnet color and dayTASTING NOTES: The 2016 Gloria is one of the undisputed stars of this vintage. Rich, deep and explosive, the 2016 possesses tremendous intensity in all of its dimensions. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, menthol, licorice and dried rose petal all add complexity. In 2016 Gloria is a real head turner. It should be a fabulous value as well. There is not much else to say. Vinious, 96 pts. Beautiful aromas of blackcurrants and blueberries. Hot stone undertones.
