(4173 views) | | | Tasted by STEVEN@WINECELLARCLUB.COM on 9/21/2012: DRINKERS (7224 views) | | | Tasted by Lobonick on 6/21/2012 & rated 90 points: Amazing QPR on this wine. Dark, inky, and delicious. Blueberry and baking spice over milk chocolate and espresso with a startlingly strong black licorice flavor that I just adore. This wine has a creaminess that reminds me of a good Aussie shiraz. Rich and delicious. Fantastic wine. (7667 views) | | | Tasted by redlegs on 10/22/2011: Inky dark violet color, earthy nose, well integrated flavors, crisp finish with tones of chocolate. Should go well with most foods. (8604 views) | | | Tasted by Neurowine1 on 8/28/2011 & rated 71 points: Cherry cola, black pepper, slightly pricked. Stripped of much of its fruit. Should have been drunk up a couple years ago. Not particularly enjoyable but OK. (7967 views) | | | Tasted by AP MD on 8/15/2011 & rated 91 points: Drinking very well. Earthy with figs and mushroom aroma.

(3534 views) | | | Tasted by HowardKahn on 1/17/2011 & rated 89 points: Slightly past it's peak but a fine bottle of wine. (4526 views) | | | Tasted by Dulcie and Aylwin on 12/25/2010: Another Gil gone, one knows not where. Perhaps another "gift." (4541 views) | | | Tasted by TMW on 11/25/2010: It was just ok, with no depth. (4848 views) | | | Tasted by bacchus on 11/24/2010 & rated 89 points: i had no problem with this wine. it certainly is not declining or over the hill. it may not be as vigorous as it was a year ago. scores from other reviewers suggest that the sweet spot for this wine was 2009. i have to score a little more severely than parker since the wine is not profound. nevertheless, it is a better than average example of jumilla. i am impressed with the earthiness, dark color and dark fruit aromas. (4727 views) | | | Tasted by prufrocksabogado on 5/15/2010 & rated 79 points: The thrill is gone. No fruit left, just some odd assortment of spices. poured it out. (5948 views) | | | Tasted by golby24 on 3/20/2010 & rated 89 points: The wine looks Ruby colored.

This one's on the way down. (6454 views) | | | Tasted by jjlobi on 2/14/2010 & rated 87 points: I hought this was pretty good, especially for the price at the restaurant. Smooth and flavorful. (6219 views) | | | Tasted by aroby on 12/11/2009 & rated 75 points: This wine has deteriorated significantly. Pretty much all of the fruit had disappeared. (6911 views) | | | Tasted by DRS-Inc on 11/20/2009 & rated 90 points: Had with dinner & let breathe for 75 min. (evolved nicely the more it breathe). Deep inky-purple tone in complexion. Bouquet of fresh dark berries. (3623 views) | | | Tasted by Harley1199 on 11/8/2009: Tasting this now trying to get my palate used to Clio 04. Just poured without decantation. After five years, some sediments. Potent nose (pencil, licorice, all-kind-of-berries confiture aromas, tipically Monastrell). In mouth, glyrecic, dense, still tannic juice. Not my short of wine but, understanding what it is, a very good example of modern Jumilla.
Probandola ahora para acostumbrar my paladar al Clío 04. Solo servido, sin decantación. Después de cinco años, presenta algunos sedimentos. Nariz potente: lápiz, regaliz, confitura de todo tipo de bayas, típicamente Monastrell. En boca, glicérico, denso, todavía un jugo tánico. No mi tipo de vino pero, para lo que es, un buen ejemplo de un moderno Jumilla. (7502 views) | | | Tasted by smk8nig on 8/31/2009 & rated 86 points: Nice fruit flavor with a little spicy finish. Nice vanilla with traces of cherry and blackberry also. We drank with a creamy local cheese- delightful. (7524 views) | | | Tasted by tutticalvi on 8/2/2009 & rated 87 points: Had with BBQ burgers at the outerbanks. Initially very grapey fruit. Modest tannins that appeared more over time. Tannins taste like iron? Tar, tobacco flavors. Thin viscosity. (7678 views) | | | Tasted by Haggis on 7/12/2009 & rated 88 points: A nicely balanced wine. Rose, licorice, and spice (cardamon?) on the nose. Cocoa, tobacco, and dark cherry palate. Very nicely done. Drink up. (7950 views) | | | Tasted by wineismylife on 3/22/2009 & rated 88 points: WIML88. No notes. Drink now. (8587 views) | | | Tasted by Wiz on 3/7/2009: We drank this wine with basil/artichoke/tomato Pizza last night and it paired well. Full bodied with lots of fruit and subdued tannins. It was even better after the pizza with dark chocolate. The cherry notes came out stronger and developed a richness to the wine. How could Wine Spectator rate this vintage so wrong. I would give it a 90 and just wish I had another bottle in the cellar. (8652 views) | | | Tasted by gfleener on 2/28/2009 & rated 92 points: i drank this with mesquite grilled tri tip amid the chaos that is my family & am now savoring a glass in my office alone. the dark fruits are still there & this wine seems to be in a good place rigtht now. with the meat it was nearly perfect. the tannins are a bit more pronounced now that i am drinking it on its own. i would say this is a bit more elegant & complex than it was a year & a half ago when wiml had his. it has a smokiness that complements the fruit quite well. if pressed for a score, i would give this 92 points now. i think it will be very interesting to follow this wine over the next 5-7 years.

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.MurciaLocated in Southeastern Spain, the "lost" region of Yecla lies to the east of Jumilla and to the west of Alicante. Fortunately, this region was spared much of the wrath of the phylloxera plague, and many ungrafted and extremely old vines remain. The Yecla region’s progressive leader, Bodegas Castaño, has long been an advocate of the Monastrell varietal, also known as Mourvèdre. The varietal is best regarded for its influence on the wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape where the terroir and climate is not dissimilar to that of Yecla. Both benefit from a very warm, Mediterranean climate with warm days and nights. Jumilla Jumillo DO (Wikipedia)
