Avis d'expert

Wine Spectator

(10-1992)
Balanced and integrated, with typical black cherry, chocolate and toast flavors. Should develop nicely.

85 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(02-1993)
The 1988 is an unabashedly fruity, exuberant, herb and cassis-scented wine, with a smooth texture and easy to understand and enjoy flavors. No wonder Gloria is called a beginner's Bordeaux.
