Mature St Julien, just over its peak: raisin, leather, black fruit, tobacco, bramble, espresso, dusty, medium plus body, nice long dark fruit dry finish, drink up.

Unctuous in its old age. Cedar and dark chocolate on the nose, with a hint of lead pencil shavings. Deep cassis on the pallet, and very fine tannins. If well cellared, it has another 2-3 years in it. Love Gloria!

Well stored. The cork is only imbibed about 2mm. Dark wine with brick tones. Requires 30min. To open up. The nose is classic aged Bordeaux one, with nice blond tobacco, earth, blackberry. In the mouth, the wine is very refined, polished, but still alive with a refreshing well balanced acidity. Same arômes as on the nose, character, straightness (close to Margaux style). Has certainly passed his peak but still good. To drink in the few coming years if not done yet.

Mørk rød kjerne. Litt orangepreget helt i ytterkant.
Mørk fruktig på lukt. Litt forsiktig lukt.
Velbalansert, relativ mild. Ingen merkbare tanniner.
En god Bordeaux, men kanskje litt kjedelig, savner litt kompleksitet.
