Awards
Wine Advocate 90 points - Medium to deep garnet-purple coloured, the 2015 du Glana is scented of black currants, blackberries and mulberries with touches of beef, cigar box and menthol. The palate is medium to full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and a good fruit core, finishing long..February/2018
James Suckling 90 points - The full black-fruit aromas make this generous and well-rounded wine with rather gentle tannins easy to enjoy now. The finish is very supple and with clearer contours, this would rate even more highly. Drink now or in 2019 and 2020.February/2018
Decanter 93 points - One of the few non-1855-classified estates in St-Julien, one that has plenty of the elegant balanced signature of the appellation at relatively affordable prices. This has plum and cassis fruits, soft floral edging and integrated oak. Very enjoyable.November/2017
