| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 51 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Higgie on 8/15/2023 & rated 90 points: Round, harmonic, balanced (492 views) | | | Tasted by MMiazga on 3/26/2022 & rated 95 points: Deep black and blue fruits, quite smooth. Last had a year or so ago and it continues to improve. I’m letting the clio age more but wondering if this 2017 is better. Plenty of life ahead. (980 views) | | | Tasted by ziavino on 3/24/2022 & rated 93 points: This is big in every way, with ripe notes of blackberry and plum out front. Oak takes control, with hints of smoke and tar emerging late and lingering on the mildly tannic finish. The oak is more dominant than I'd prefer, but this is still a hedonistic treat. (1002 views) | | | Tasted by PeterMadrid on 2/12/2022 & rated 92 points: A charmer, but with depth, ready to support the favourable first impression with serious arguments. Not subtle, but proud and strong. Better after some time open. Decanting might have improved the impression further. The nose still quite alcoholic with its 15.5 degrees showing through. On the palate a touch of sweetness from highly concentrated fruit, followed by a long-lasting impression and aftertaste. One of those wines you want more of, event though it remains a hint monochromatic compared to other very good wines. (1038 views) | | | Tasted by CDT on 10/22/2021 & rated 94 points: Tasted after a 2 1/2 hour decant.
Indicated blend is 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Syrah.
Dark ruby in colour with lovely aromas of sweet black fruit, background oak, sweet earth & somewhat herbal/floral.
On the palate, full bodied black fruit, blackberry, cassis, blueberry, well integrated oak, herbal & earthiness with high acidity & high silky tannins.
Finish is long to black pepper & crushed gravel.
This is tasty, balanced, excellent wine!
Still lovely deep, rich flavour on night #3. (1326 views) | | | Tasted by OenophilistMN on 3/27/2021 & rated 88 points: One-hour splash decant at the excellent Maxwell's in Fargo and off of the wine list. No sediment. Wine was clear; bright garnet from bowl to rim. Nose was far more Syrah than Monastrell: red fruits of raspberry and cherry. In the mouth, far brighter than a typical Jumilla. Only the depth of the fruit indicated the Monastrell. Again red fruits, no plums or raisins. Finish was very nice: moderately long with licorice, a hint of tobacco and some chalk. Had I drank this blind, I would have surmised a mid-level Northern Rhone from a very good year. Was an excellent compliment with a rack of lamb. (1393 views) | | | Tasted by dked2407 on 11/28/2020 & rated 91 points: Tabac, chocolat, peut sembler alcooleux avec ses 15,5. (1428 views) | | | Tasted by GlenviewGSW on 10/4/2020 & rated 93 points: This is a big, brawny red with a new world/modern profile. Dark, rich, ripe fruit profile with generous oak and not a lot of the minerality you would expect with an old world wine. however this is a really well made wine especially for the price. (1646 views) | | | Tasted by Aaronsinger on 9/30/2020 & rated 94 points: Extremely lush and complex. (1882 views) | | | Tasted by CDT on 9/25/2020 & rated 94 points: Colour is dark ruby with aromas of sweet black fruit & a hint of oak & earth.
On the palate, bold but not offensive black fruit, cassis, blackberry (jam), well integrated oak, tobacco, earth with medium acidity transitioning to spice/pepper and high but soft approachable tannins.
Finish is long & this wine is well balanced & well deserving of the Wine Spectator 94 point rating. (1588 views) | | | Tasted by 69Voltage on 9/9/2020 & rated 94 points: A 94 from WS
$31 at TW
Monastrell,
Cabernet-Sauvignon & Syrah
It’s difficult for me to give a normal review on this bottle. Had the parents over for dinner, so between trying to tell mom that Fox News is full of sh*t and trying to follow the baseball game, all I can say is that this is an exceptional wine for the price point. Going to grab another bottle from TW and properly enjoy the experience on another day.

초반 자두향 자두맛
케이머스의 느낌도 있음
커피, 담배향이 진해짐
시간이 지나면서 뒷맛이 달큰해짐
단맛이 너무 진해서 살짝 거부감이 들 정도
2시간정도 브리딩하면 어떨까 싶음 (1687 views) | | | Tasted by michigan dogs on 8/8/2020 & rated 94 points: this is a $30 wine that holds it own against much more expensive wines. Juan Gils blue label, buy it! try it ! If you don't agree give me grief. (1575 views) | | | Tasted by 2009emerson on 8/8/2020 & rated 93 points: Brilliant wine, has enormous depth for a wine at this price point. This wine has many layers that are so well balanced. Paired with grilled flank steak and it was beautiful. (1441 views) | | | Tasted by Jobu on 7/25/2020 & rated 93 points: PnP. Big wine with a lot of oak initially. Settled down and opened up more as the night went on. Dark fruit, earthy spice with a little licorice. Well balanced tannins and acid. Long, long finish. It’s really a nice wine, but needs a little more time or a decant for an hour or two. (1418 views) | | | Tasted by michigan dogs on 7/23/2020 & rated 94 points: Concentrated, rich, opulent - bursting with dark fruit flavors but not too sweet. Mainly composed of Monastrell and cabernet. 94 pts WS, I have always had success with inexpensive wines from Juan Gill, 2004 vintage to today. At $30, this is a great value (1184 views) | | | Tasted by jweedin on 7/7/2020 & rated 93 points: Always enjoyed jumilla wine but this is excellent monastrell, cab blend. Great nose. Ready to drink now but will improve over the next few years (1246 views) | | | Tasted by Abharwine on 6/20/2020 & rated 91 points: Baby Clio is a good description.....but one of a very few wines that for my palate does not need food and mebbe even better without it. Sumptuous wine to be savored alone by the thimbleful. QPR for me is off the scale. Will also add ....and apologies if I am....but I think I'm repeating myself, if you want to get someone/anyone started on red wine , this for sure is your baby. If you cant drink this(and enjoy), dont bother!! (1099 views) | | | Tasted by wineismylife on 5/14/2020 & rated 91 points: WIML91
Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately. Followed over about 2-3 hours.
Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Tight nose up front with notes of dust, plums and red berries poking through. Flavors of red raspberries, plums and red cherries. Medium to bright acidity, medium to firm tannin, medium to full bodied. Drink over the short to medium term, decant about an hour if opening over the short term. (1194 views) | | | Tasted by tgang on 1/3/2020 & rated 91 points: A bit lighter in body and lower in alcohol than the 2015 vintage but the prominent coffee and baking spice is still featured. The blend is the same as in 2015. Still a big, bold food wine. A great go to when looking to change up the pairing with grilled meats etc. (1344 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 10/18/2019: Lots of tight barrel spice to the nose. Clove and ginger. Plum and blue fruit aromas. Lots of spice on the palate. (1315 views) | | | Tasted by WineRay05 on 9/8/2019 & rated 92 points: Excellent.

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)
