90-92 points Robert Parker: "One of the finest Glorias I have ever tasted, the dense ruby/purple-tinged 2005 reveals a big, sweet perfume of black olives, black cherries, cassis, spice box, and cedar. Boasting terrific fruit, medium to full body, and more power and richness than usual, it will provide delicious drinking during its first two decades of life." (04/07) 89-91 points Wine Spectator: "This shows a lovely silky texture and ripe fruit ranging from plums to chocolate to toasted oak. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, rich finish. Juicy young red. Very close to 92-94." (04/06) K&L's barrel tasting notes - Deep blackberry fruit aromas that follow to the palate. A serious wine. Very good on palate-lingering finish. *1/2 (Clyde Beffa, K&L Bordeaux buyer) Please note - 2005 Bordeaux futures will arrive between Jan 2008 and July 2008.
