Macho Man Jumilla Monastrell
Jumilla, Murcia, Spain
Vintage 2020 | Modern marketing name and label. The Spanish can do magic with monastrell (= mourverdre). Unbelievable stubborn when popped and poured, beautiful smell. Given 24 hours aeration it develops lovely: smooth taste, glorious fruit. I selected it to pair Indonesian food, which is difficult for matching. It works.

Hits 90 for me. Needs time to open up and develop in your glass. But then, it really reminds me of Gigondas with a heavy dose of oak. So old world meets new here. Medium bodied and fresh on the finish.

Very good for the price point. Big and bold on the front, but then quickly fizzled.
