2017 Château Gloria

Ruhm aus Bordeaux

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 89-91/100 Punkte"The 2017 Gloria is deep garnet-purple in color and scented of warm plums and blueberry pie with hints of potpourri, tilled soil and espresso. The palate is medium-bodied with just enough expressive fruit and a fine, approachable frame. The blend is currently 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot." 

James Suckling: 91/100 Punkte"A tight and focused red with currants, dark berries and hints of mushrooms. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a juicy finish." 

Wine Spectator: 91-94/100 Punkte"Plum, blackberry and black currant fruit has melded nicely with graphite and anise notes in this red, which shows good energy, with a mouthwatering tar note on the finish. Really solid."

Wine Enthusiast: 93 Punkte"Barrel Sample. While this wine has plenty of wood flavors, the fruit weight justifies it. It is rich with good spice and balanced acidity. It will develop relatively quickly, drink from 2023."

Decanter: 92/100 Punkte"Tight but plentiful fruit extraction.

Enjoyable stuff. Drinking Window 2025 – 2040”

Vinous (Neal Martin): 89-92/100 Punkte"The 2017 Gloria, tasted from a new barrel though the final blend will include 50% new oak and the remainder one-year old, has a straightforward but pure bouquet with blackberry, briary and cedar aromas accompanied by a distant whiff off the estuary. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin, crisp acidity, a little “brittle” in the mouth, but quite precise towards the finish. It actually ends much better than it begins so I will expand my banded score to indicate potential upgrade in quality. Let’s see“
