2018 vintage. One of the last vintages for this Château, now integrated ( together with Château Bardis) in Château Charmail, when Bernard d'Hallouin sold 66% of Charmail to external investors in 2021, with the aim to recreate "le grand Charmail". Needs a bit of time to open up, better the next day, decanting recommended. Another fine Haut-Médoc value, with ripe fruit, smooth tannin, well-integrated oak and good length. Abv. 14%. There is still some ageing potential here. — a month ago

Light gold color. Melons, minerals, and stone on the nose. Complex on the palate but not my style. Usually love this wine, but maybe this bottle is different. Medium plus depth and finish. — 6 months ago

Raspberry, blackberry, currant, big thick mouthfeel, long finish, tannins for days, but put together…you need something big to eat with this one, and luckily I had just the thing-pigs foot stuffed with sweetbread and foie gras — 2 months ago

Any of you ever had this? I've never had a bottle from this producer. The nose screamed Sangiovese at me! But it does taste like Bordeaux. Fruity, a little bitter, but doing well at 10 years. I think it's peaked.

WOW!!!! 2017 Chateau Gloria Saint-Julien , Domaines MARTIN. - Bordeaux France!!!!!!! I have finally found an exceptional bordeaux that rocks my taste buds! The color is dark burgundy. The legs are long and slow. On the nose, there’s lots of rhubarb pie and violets! My initial pallet is tantalized with explosions of blueberries, boysenberries, cherries, and chocolate. The mid pallet quickly resolves into a velvety, slightly buttered texture. Then there is a dive straight to the finish with lots of earthy oak and cigar box with a very moderately dry finish. . This is a good one!!!!!! We purchased this in Ireland and brought it home to the USA. Unfortunately, we only bought one bottle which is already halfway gone and I’m sure as you’re reading this, it will be completely gone.  — 3 months ago
