Nothing great. Lacking in many areas. This might be a good representation of the jumilla grape but don't have enough knowledge to make any further determinations.

Very well made wine with good structure and balance. Picked up some raisin, fig and a hint of dark cherry as well as some oak. At 6.29 a bottle in a case, I have yet to fins anything of this quality that comes close. Brilliant QPR!

The latest Dongo confirms my response to the previous one, that it is Wrongo, at least not up to the standards I once considered a benchmark for zesty, youthful and inexpensive wine. While not offensive, the fruit seemed lacking and leaving a rather weak impression. I would like to say better.

Sadly for me, this Dongo seems a little Wrongo; in addition to the loss of the distinctive yellow label and synthetic cork, the exuberant youthful fruit has also deserted this particular vintage. Overall, it just seemed to fall a bit flat, and I have worshipped the Dongos of old. Alas.

A tremendous eye opening wine that'll have me hunting more Monastrell from Spain. It's all here and I can't believe the price point. Paid $8.99 in MA without any case discount. Ample clean fruit, some earth, tremendous balance. Wow. Fire up the QPR alert!

Adequate nose, good mouthfeel and nice lingering finish of cherry and vanilla. A decent every day drinker with medium to light body.

We paid $6.99 for this bottle, and for that price we have nothing to offer than kudos. Would have guessed it to cost twice as much if served unknown.

This is one of the very few Jorge Ordonez selections that we weren't keen on. It's an okay wine, but just not spectacular or particularly noteworthy.
