The 2013 Gloria perhaps does not quite have the same charm as the 2013 Saint-Pierre: a little backward, lacking a sense of lift and perfume. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, the tannins harder than Saint Pierre with a simple, earthy finish that needs more fruit intensity. Tasted twice, once at the property, the second example demonstrated a little more freshness, but otherwise I might be inclined to opt for Saint-Pierre in this vintage.

I tasted the Château Gloria three times and was never totally convinced that it will amount to much after bottling, which is a shame because the estate has turned round some outstanding wines in recent vintages. It has a rather herbaceous, undergrowth-scented bouquet that is missing some fruit concentration. The palate is pinched on the entry with high acidity and the finish is too abrupt. This is nowhere near the quality of the estate's superb wines in recent vintages. Tasted March 2014. Score: 84 - 86 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 01 April 2014 |

Black cherry jam, vibrant and chewy on the palate. Full of vigour. Shame that the body and length are victim to the 2013 gentleness! Even so, a good, well-made wine. (16.5) Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2016-2023 Date: 01 April 2014 |

A plump, almost gutsy style, with dark plum and blackberry fruit, bolstered by ample roasted cedar and apple wood notes. Lacks range but shows solid muscle. Score: 87 - 90 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Date: 01 April 2014 |

Clean and tangy with dried-berry and raspberry character. Medium body. Silky tannins. Gloria made the most of its grapes this year. Score: 88 - 89 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 April 2014 |

Dense colour, good smoky cassis nose, depth and clarity of fruit, still green but good depth and class. Score: 89 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2017-2025 Date: 01 April 2014 |

A pretty fresh nose, then in the mouth light but juicy with cherries, brisk acidity and vanilla toast on the back end. Score: 88 - 90 Albany Vintners, - Date: 01 April 2014 |
