Chateau Gloria 2013 (1x75cl)

Gloria is a Saint-Julien estate that sits outside the 1855 classification but is often discussed in the same breath as its classified neighbours. 2013 was a cooler, more difficult Bordeaux vintage, so this is one for drinking now.

A way to try Saint-Julien character without needing to look for a classified label.

Tasting notes

Saint-Julien reds usually sit between Margaux's perfume and Pauillac's structure, showing cassis and cedar. A cooler vintage like 2013 tends to show lighter body and earlier drinkability.
