45 years on, and still singing. Our friends’ wedding anniversary year. Classic tertiary Saint-Julien: cedar, forest floor, dried cherry, tobacco, pencil shavings — fruit fully resolved into savory complexity. Silky, perfumed, no rough edges. Need time to breathe for nose to be appealing. — 2 days ago
Okay Right-Bank Bordeaux. Too young to open now. There is a nice bitterness to this Bordeaux. — 22 days ago

1/2 hour decant(decent fine sediment). A striking dark ruby red with bricking. On the nose: Captivating notes of dark fruit, forest floor, worn leather, mushroom, cigar, smoked meat, some bandaid(brett). Taste: silky, classic, elegant wine with dried red berries, currants, tobacco, saline, minerals and a cedar graphite long dry finish. YUM! What a thrill to drink tonight! — 22 days ago

Medium dark rubi robe, with no signs of aging, nose of leather, steak tartare, cedar wood and blackcurrant. So balanced and fresh on the mouth, medium bodied, secondary notes and top soil intermingled with cedar wood and dark cherries. This is sooo good. And you would never guess the bottle’s age. Our favorite vintage of the 80s together with 88. — 24 days ago
果実味、酸味、タンニン、とてもバランスがよいが、もっとよくなる。タンニンがしっかり感じられるが、あと5年?10年経つと、さらにスムーズな口当たりになりそうわ、
さらに良くなる。

Phenomenal wine. Tannins are completely softened with dark fruits. Incredibly enjoyable. The 2009 still going strong 17 years later. This can easily stay in bottle another 5-10 years. — a month ago
Tired but jammy dried fruit, rubber, BS, violets, rose.
Cherry, pomegranate, red current, nice acid and body. Beautiful! — 10 days ago
Beautiful Pauillac. Although it would be better in five years it is still ready to drink now. Powerful Bordeaux with strong Cabernet Sauvignon. — 22 days ago
Delicious with Pat’s grilled steak. Lovely nose, dark fruit and long finish. ($89) — 7 days ago
The utterly delicious 2018 Chateau Gloria is medium>full, with an abundance of black fruit aromatics and flavors, a good structure, and a well balanced fruity core with juicy acidity and powdery tannins at the smoothly textured, long mouth coating finish. One of the better values in Bordeaux. — 6 days ago

Medium deep garnet ruby with a narrow garnet rim . Dusty grafite , cedar and cassis , currants , oyster shell , quite deep and classic . On the palate this is quite dense and tannic still , deep dark cassis , herbal tinged cedar and very grafite tinged on the finish . Fresh acidity , but still good mid palate richness and even though the tannins are quite dry and grippy , this is well balanced and relatively generous . Good length on the classic grafite , oyster shell tinged finish. This didn’t need a lot of decanting time to show well , though it certainly changes and improves with time in the glass . Classic in style , but still quite generous for Latour , this is just reaching its drinking window , will continue at this level for another 5-10 years at least and probably more. — 19 days ago
