Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 1998

The 1995 and 1996 are two of the finest Glorias produced over recent vintages. Both the 1996 and 1995 are uncommonly hedonistic, plump, and precociously-styled wines. Low in acidity, rich in cedary, black currant fruit, medium-bodied, and lush, these two wines will provide delicious drinking young, yet both will age for 10-15 years. The 1995 is lower in acidity, and may not possess quite the density and power of the 1996, but readers looking for high class claret with immediate appeal would be foolish to pass it by. Both wines are sleepers of the vintage.

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. Last tasted 3/96

Wine Spectator, January 1998

Rather tough now, but with seriously good fruit concentration. Cherry and wet earth aromas. Medium-bodied, with full tannins and a tannic finish. Will improve with age. Best after 2002. (JS)
