lErmite and Les Bessards)

More polite but superripe aromas of apple and honey

with a touch of extra fruitiness and spiciness

delicious and very pinot flavors yet the finish is intensely earthy and serious

very focused and very precise on the finish

Gloria other_regions lErmite and Les Bessards)The 2010 Gloria has a very attractive and quite intense bouquet with a surfeit of blackberry and wild strawberry scents, cedar and light seaweed coming through with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with supple but firm tannins framing the pure blackberry and bilberry fruit, laced with black pepper and clove. Very complex, very focused and very precise on the finish, this is an outstanding 2010 Saint Julien. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10
