Tasting Notes

Deep ruby colour to narrow rim showing some development. Lovely classy Cabernet nose brimming with blackberries and cedar with air opening up to reveal touches of cigar and mocha. Mediumweight with nicely ripe berry fruit, cedar and some appealing sweetness in the middle to hint at quality of the vintage. Subtle and smooth with with ripe and creamy tannins, no hard edges and no excess fat. Finishing dry with a hint of toast. A proper glass of claret. Drink now to 2016.

Score: 91

Albany Vintners, - 03 December 2013

This beautiful Bordeaux fruit bomb offers abundant notes of black currants, herbs, cherries, cedar, and spice box. Fleshy and medium to full-bodied with no hard edges, the 2000 Gloria is a total thrill to consume. Enjoy it over the next decade, perhaps longer.

Lovely berry and tobacco and mineral character. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a silky finish. First bottle was slightly papery. Best after 2007.
