Robert Parker described 2010 as one of the best vintages he tasted in his long and illustrious career. I don’t think this was because there were a handful of breath-taking wines, but because of the sheer volume of truly brilliant wines on offer. Take Chateau Gloria from Saint Julien, overlooked in the 1855 classification, for example. This sleepy property produced an outstanding wine in 2010 – try a bottle and see your yourself!
