Spiced red plums, currants, mineral and a touch of iron and paprika. Quite juicy on the palate with a medium body and fine tannins. Elegant, mouthwatering and linear in the finish, which shows some nice length. Drink now.

Flowers, currants, spice and underbrush show in the nose. On the palate, the wine is fresh, crisp and bright, with a lean to the savory, red currant side of the style range. Drink from 2023-2031. 88-90

The 2021 Château du Glana has a pretty, understated bouquet of cedar-infused black fruit, hints of cigar humidor emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, quite elegant and fresh, with more red fruit percolating though on the harmonious finish. This is a well-crafted Saint-Julien.

Dezente Nase, braucht etwas Zeit, Kräuter und Cassis, dezent Holz. Der Gaumen ist rund und weich, zeigt eine reife Frucht, die markante Säure und gut integrierte Tannine stützen, rotfruchtiger, harmonischer Abgang. 2026-2040 (Verkostet im April 2022. Grand Cercle des Vins de Bordeaux)

Soft, medium-bodied, and supple, the 2021 du Glana is a giving, somewhat ephemeral wine redolent of sweet berries, cherries, pencil shavings and tobacco.

Minerality from the first sip, the flavour and texture is pure wet stone, crushed stone, slate and liquorice alongside blueberries and pomegranate. This has a certain dark, savoury charm, clarity and focus. It's quite tight right now but has a sharp decisiveness. Good potential with purity of fruit and a pristine texture. Gentle, easy to enjoy.
