This style of vintage really suits Gloria, with its cheerful, exuberant character, silky tannins and clear power. You'll find plenty of precision and bite through the blueberry and cassis fruits, excellent quality, bright, bristling and full of life. The signature of St Julien comes through, and this is softly spoken but with quiet confidence, layering on slate and gunsmoke edges on the finish.

What a gorgeous and supple young wine with ultra-fine tannins and vivid acidity. Medium to full body and direct and driven tannins. Shows such beauty.

One of two classed-growth estates in Saint-Julien owned by the descendants of Henri Martin, this estate has been renovated and the results show in this well-crafted wine. Ripe tannins are balanced by smoky blackberry fruits and pure, clean acidity. (RV)

The 2015 Gloria is another Saint-Julien that has improved over the last 12 months. It has a bolder and more exuberant bouquet than some of its peers, featuring lush blackberry and blueberry fruit and revealing a touch of iodine and crushed violet with aeration. The medium-bodied palate displays supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity and very pure fruit intensity (black cherries, bilberry and boysenberry), although it clams shut toward the finish. Slightly more modern in style than its peers, this should still age with style. (NM)

2015 Gloria has reached a wonderful stage, where there's plenty of primary fruit, but you get serious hints of what this has in store as it continues to evolve. Aromas of cedar, black cherry, and graphite lead to an elegant but flavorful palate that features high-toned red and black fruit, a thread of acidity, and gentle but mouthfilling tannins that echo the fruit. A long, mouthwatering finish begs for another sip, with a slight salinity that carries through. Deftly done, it is a great example of Gloria and the appeal of the 2015 vintage that will surely carry on for a long time to come.
