Saint-Julien Cru Bourgeois AOC 1,5 l Magnum - Château Gloria

The powerful Saint-Julien Cru Bourgeois 1.5 l magnum from Château Gloria flows into the glass with a dense purple-red color. At the rim, this French red also shows a transition into garnet red. When given a bit of air in the glass by swirling, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which shows in church windows on the glass wall. This wine presents itself in the glass as wonderfully refined and complex, with notes of blueberry, sour cherry, blackberry and currant. These are joined by hints of blackcurrant and black cherry.

On the palate, the Saint-Julien Cru Bourgeois 1.5 l magnum from Château Gloria starts off wonderfully dry, firm and aromatic. On the finish, this matured wine from the Bordeaux region finally delights with lovely length. Once again, hints of blackberry appear.
