Estimate
...rush of bright red cherry and plum fruit, blood orange, iron, dried flowers and mint... Medium in body and full of character, Gloria is one of the highlights of the vintage.
Dark and winey in profile, with steeped plum, blackberry and black currant fruit that is youthfully coiled up, laced with bramble, apple wood and anise notes. Offers a compact finish but the energy is there. Let this unwind in the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
...plenty of oak as well as terrific cassis fruits, hints of violets, and flowery incense, medium to full body, and a layered, pure, beautifully balanced style.
This shows depth. Layers of fruit on a medium body. Juicy and bright with raspberry and cherry character and medium, creamy tannins. Fresh finish.
Hedonistic nose – all gloss and ripeness, as so often. Sweet and round... Really energetic with quite enough ripe fruit and a bit of freshness and only medium body.
