Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and at the chateau, it has been some years since I tasted the 2006 Gloria when I admit to giving the wine a "bashing." Now at ten years of age, to be brutally honest, I am not so inclined to alter that position. The bouquet feels a little simple, slightly smudged, with balsamic-tinged black and red fruit, slightly herbaceous in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy, slightly rustic tannin, quite advanced vis-a-vis its peers; it has a diffuse, rather drying finish that frankly would not be accepted by the property today, after the chateau was essentially rebuilt. I would drink this over the next 5-6 years, no longer. Tasted April 2016.

正如我去年所提到的那樣，這款誘人的葡萄酒的品質(zhì)并不比 2005 年份同款葡萄酒遜色多少。該酒散發(fā)著雪松、雪茄、烤藥草和黑醋栗的香氣，其酒體豐滿，風(fēng)味凝練集中，口感豐富柔順。該酒就目前的市場(chǎng)行情看，是一款性價(jià)比非常高的葡萄酒，其優(yōu)良品質(zhì)至少可以保持 15 年。
