Chateau Gloria 1994 0,75 l

This 1994 Saint-Julien from Château Gloria presents the classical Left Bank Bordeaux composition of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc in measured proportions. At nearly thirty years of maturity, the wine has developed the tertiary complexities characteristic of well-cellared claret: evolved fruit aromatics yield to earthy undertones and subtle leather notes. The 12.5% alcohol speaks to the vintage's moderate ripeness, allowing structure and elegance to prevail over extraction. This remains an excellent pairing for roasted lamb with herbs or aged beef preparations, where its residual tannins and developed bouquet will find worthy complement.
