Château Gloria, St Julien, 2024
Gloria 2024 is quite ambitious, displaying notes of spice and earth alongside lots of bramble fruit and subtle sous bois nuances. There’s an impressive core of concentrated black fruit and graphite. If the tannins relax during élevage, this should develop into a solid St Julien.
critic reviews
Deep garnet-purple colored. Rolls out with notes of red plums and black raspberries, plus touches of wild thyme and pencil shavings. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is chewy and refreshing with delicate flavors and a peppery finish.
The 2024 Gloria has a light nose with blackberry, leather and loamy aromas that require a bit of coaxing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with rigid tannins, moderate depth, gentle grip and a slightly blocky finish. It's not close to the peaks that Gloria can achieve (and there have been several in recent years), but this is a swarthy Saint-Julien that should mellow with bottle age.
Medium to full intensity deep plum colour, lovely spice, textured graphite, pumice, powerful and sculpted bright fruits, this is thoroughly enjoyable, a real success in a vintage.Triaud family owners, 34 hl/ha yield.
Aromas of blackberries, cassis and toasty oak introduce the 2024 Gloria, a medium-bodied, lively wine built around youthfully chalky tannins.
