`Château Gloria 1985 is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the St-Julien appellation of Bordeaux. Created by Henri Martin over the course of several decades, Château Gloria is a charming wine producer in the Saint-Julien appellation. Its vineyards stretch over approximately 50 hectares across several plots, including in the Beychevelle region, in the north on the border with Pauillac, and in the west of Saint-Julien. "Château Gloria, back in the days when Henri Martin was alive and still running the property, was always one of the most user-friendly wines out of the blocks and a very good value, though of course, not generally built for the long haul. I was happy to see how well the 1985 Gloria continues to drink, with its wide open personality still quite enjoyable and showing no signs of imminent decline. The wine offers up a pretty nose of red and black cherries, cigar ash, a nice touch of soil and a gentle topnote of crushed violets. On the palate the wine is fullish, plush and nicely balanced, with melted tannins, fine focus and a long, juicy and very pleasing finish. This is not the most complex glass of claret, but there is a lot still to like here and it should continue to be quite tasty for years to come. Good juice." John Gilman, 2014
