Chateau Gloria 1996 (Saint-julien, Bordeaux)

Meaty and mature, Chateau Gloria 1996 (Saint-julien, Bordeaux) is brick-brown, exhibiting aromas of meat, musk, leather and green oak with a faint trace of cassis, followed by a super smooth and meaty mouthful of mature fruit and pronouced tanins, ending in a smooth soft finish.
