Product Description
A solid bolt of graphite drives the core of dark plum and blackberry fruit along, while hints of iron and ganache fill in on the finish. Very solid, with good energy in reserve.

Medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin, plenty of sappy black fruit but feeling just a little abrupt on the finish.

Red cherries and cassis fruit, though I would have preferred more control and delineation here.

Product details
The Château du Glana, a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Merlot, has quite a racy, exuberant bouquet with red cherries and cassis fruit, though I would have preferred more control and delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin, plenty of sappy black fruit but feeling just a little abrupt on the finish. Not a bad Saint Julien overall and it may deserve a higher evaluation post-bottling.
