Wine by Bok - 9.25/10 stars
The 1978 Château Gloria is a testament to its enduring quality—very much alive and thriving. Its aged bouquet offers captivating aromas of vanilla, smoky barrel notes, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it reveals a deep, intense, and full-flavored profile with impressive complexity. While the acidity is slightly elevated, it seamlessly integrates into the wine’s vibrant character, preserving its lively essence.
What truly stands out is how close this Gloria comes to the legendary 1978 Mouton Rothschild, making it a remarkable value for money. Aged to perfection, this is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a vintage gem without breaking the bank. Don’t miss out—try it for yourself!
