Château Gloria 2016, St Julien64. 95 per bottle ABV 13. 5% Appellation Saint Julien "The 2016 Gloria is noticeably deeper in color than its peers. It has a charming bouquet of blackberry, briar, brown spices and touches of sandalwood, complex and developing loamy elements with aeration. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Quite mineral driven, leading into a composed, precise finish that indicates careful winemaking from great terroir.
