Wine Advocate
par Robert Parker le 30/04/1996
This well-known estate appears to be aiming for greater richness and ripeness, without sacrificing the wine's up-front, flattering precociousness or opulent texture. The 1995 builds on the success of the 1994, offering more fatness, glycerin, and extraction, a deeper color, more alcohol, and lower acidity, thus emphasizing the wine's opulence, charm, and up-front character. It is a delicious, juicy, succulently-textured Gloria that should drink well during its first decade of life. Given this estate's pricing policy, the 1995 is unquestionably a sleeper of the vintage.
