This should be a better wine given the vintage which was successful for Cabernet in the Médoc. The dried fruit and aged tobacco flavours are encased in rather chewy, coarse tannins which has started to round out with time. It was a tough vintage but many produced great wines.

Harmonious and balanced. Good dark colour, with lovely berry and eucalyptus aromas and flavours. Medium-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a long, silky and caressing finish. Not quite as good as I remember, but very good indeed.

Château Château Gloria
Château Gloria
Château Gloria was born after World War II from Henri Martin's desire, then mayor of Saint-Julien, to create a renowned estate. Upon his death in 1991, his son-in-law Jean-Louis Triaud took over. Château Gloria is a 44-hectare wine estate in the Médoc, located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in Gironde. It is a Saint-Julien AOC. On a soil made of Günzian gravel, the vineyard is planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. It spans 44 hectares. The vineyard is established on sedimentary rock. While homogeneous on the surface with a sea of pebbles, the subsoil reveals a complexity that creates the variety of Saint-Julien wines. The wines of Château Gloria have an intense and dark colour, the 2006 vintage exhales powerful aromas of black fruits. The palate reveals notes of spices, blackcurrant, and chocolate. The finish is pure and long.
