Bodegas Juan Gil
Jumilla Monastrell
Jumilla, Murcia, Spain
Pretty ruby in color with a light ruby rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, chocolates, smoke, licorice, oak, vanilla, spices, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead, tar, dark coffee and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth, coke and peppercorn.
Medium plus in finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries.
This Spanish monastrell is always enjoyable. Well balanced with mild complexity and a great mouthfeel.
Showing lots of fruits with nice earth notes.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (60 minutes).
I paired it with a Spanish beef dish (churrasco Moruno) with a baked sweet potato and cheese.
We had two bottles and it was a pleasure.
Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$15.

Big and plush Monastrell. Jammy Black Berry and Black current fruit. Hints of cola, toast and balsamic vinegar. Long finish and soft tannins. Thanks Ron!

Bold fruit flavors. Full bodied. High alcohol content but you don’t notice it on the finish like some other high alcohol wines. Earthy flavors and red fruit.
