Chateau Gloria 2006

Another Bordeaux for dinner, this one being from Beychevelle. Aired off to show quite an extracted nose of ripe red and black fruit, cherry, raspberry, coffee, smoke, vanilla and a little spice box. The palate was highly knitted, with fruit, tannins, minerals and oak seamlessly woven into a solid block. Weight was medium in body, with quite an airy almost ethereal mid-palate. Tannins were very fine and discreet. Was quite impressed with the structure of the wine, although some may find the light mid-palate a bit of a worry. Still very fine and lovely drinking.
50+4+13+18+8 = 93/100
