So funny you say that! Ive had my eyes on the Chateau Gloria at the local wine store. It is a 2018 though. But perhaps I can get it and just decant it for a good bit? I was a bit displeased when I went to another wine shop in a different town, they had the 2017 Chateau Gloria and it was priced at 70$, while the 2018 at my local shop is priced at 45$!

I don't know the prices, really... But that seems a huge difference. Decanting will not help in my opinion, the wine needs more natural maturation. I think it's a sin to drink it before it gets 10 years old, but maybe I'm wrong and it's just my taste. (Based on other St-Juliens, like the second wines of Chateau Lagrange and Chateau de Beychevelle). Anyway I'll try one once I come accross one! In general I find even 45 USD a lot of money for a "young" wine... But also this is only an opinion...
Yeah it really does come down to personal taste. But you are right. Wines like that do need some bottle age. I think I would rather find a 2014, or younger of a wine like that to open asap. 2018 would make me fell super guilty. However I did have a 2018 Marguax that was in the 40$ range, and I broke and opened it. But was very satisfied with it. But I am sure I would of been even more rewarded to wait at least another 4-5 years.
Oh Margaux, another one of my favourites!
Yeah man some good stuff! Or rather great, because almost all of it is good lol
