JAMES SUCKLING: "Blackberries and blueberries with stone and sandalwood undertones. It’s medium- to full-bodied with integrated tannins that are polished and refined. Long finish. Solid and rather muscular. Could move up a notch."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Cassis, violets, spicy wood, espresso, and a kiss of graphite all emerge from the 2023 Château Gloria, an incredibly pure, medium to full-bodied, ripe, balanced Saint-Julien. It shows the pure, elegant style of the vintage, has ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. This château hasn't put a foot wrong in some time, and they certainly did well in 2023."

WEINWISSER: "Verspieltes rot- und blaubeeriges Bouquet, edle Cassiswürze, zarte Fliedernote und Lakritze. Am eleganten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst und mittlerem geradlinigem Gaumen. Im gebündelten aromatischen Finale Holundersaft, Brasil-Tabak und reife Extraktfülle gepaart mit mehliger Adstringenz."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig, ein Hauch von Cassis, dunkle Waldbeeren, kandierte Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Straff, engmaschig, rotbeerig, mineralisch und frisch, zart blättrig im Abgang, ein lebendiger Speisenwein."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Medium-bodied, elegant, ripe, forward, soft, and floral, with layers of sweet, black fruits, soft, ripe tannins, and a refined, uplifted character, this is already quite nice to drink, and with a few years, it is only going to get better. The wine is produced from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2043."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "An attractive effort, the 2023 Gloria offers up aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with subtle hints of violets and licorice. It's medium to full-bodied, taut and lively, with good depth and persistence. This blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet France is the third and final vintage of organic conversion at Gloria."
