Tasted Wednesday, April 24, 2024 by Zweder with 80 views
Every participant had to bring a wine of the theme. We did not know which wines were brought by the others. All wines were tasted blind, also without knowing when the wine you brought yourself was poured.
I asked the persons who still had to bring their wine, to uncork the bottle 24 hours prior to the tasting and to double decant it 3 hours before the tasting.
Great tasting which confirms my great love for high end Bordeaux.
Thanks to all participants for bringing those beautiful wines.
2010 Château Gloria 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
Dark berries, cedar and licorice in the bouquet. On the palate dark berries like blackberries and licorice as well, some cherries, round acidity and tannin and beautiful bitterness. Youthful wine in its adolescent stage. Will evolve for the better, more elegant stage over the next 5+ years. 92+

2009 Château Gloria 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
Dark berries, some herbs and beautiful oak in the bouquet. On the palate the same berries, juicy and more round acidity than in the 2010, same for the tannin, some minerals. Overall a beautiful and friendly wine which is in its young maturity stage and which will be even more elegant 3 – 5+ years from now.
