Bodegas Juan Gil
18 meses Jumilla Monastrell Blend
Jumilla, Murcia, Spain
Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Pronounce nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, raisins, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cloves, cola, earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, mocha, vegetables, leather and peppercorn.
Long spicy finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
A beautiful Monastrell blend from the house of Juan Gil. Showing nice complexity and balance with a great mouthfeel. Big bold and grippy.
Good by itself or with food. Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up and shows some tannins.
I love anything Gil makes, and this is a delicious example.
Still young and could use a few more years in the bottle to mature, but already drinking very nicely.
I paired it with Brie cheese, almonds and crackers.
A blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah. Aged separately for 18 months in French and American oak barrels.
16.5% alcohol by volume (watch out)
92 points.
$32.
