口に含んだ瞬間に感じるフルボディ。プラム、ベリー、熟成に伴う樽香(バニラ様)が比較的強め。味わいの変化は面白いが少し甘めなので、もう少しタンニン感が欲しいところ、 — 9 months ago

Staff selection Surdyks (Roger Clark): “Grown in southern Spain’s Jumilla region, Muscatel produces wonderful dry wines. Shows typical fruit and floral aromas. Fruit is certainly at the forefront of the flavors, but the lightly spicy notes accent the fresh, dry finish. This would be excellent with savory chicken or pork dishes.” — 4 years ago
Very solid. Pairs with lamb / fatty dishes. Fruity and spicy. — 5 years ago
I'm most familiar with the stellar reds from Juan Gil, and this white blend was a not-so-surprising treat. Peach and violet and citrus dance around with minerals structure and a vibrant mouthfeel. Sorry for the winespeak; it's refreshing and delicious. Nuff said! — 6 years ago
Juan Gil Jiménez first built his winery in 1916 in Jumilla, and passed it down to his future generations. From 100% Certified Organic Monastrell (or Mourvèdre in France), in chalky, stony soils, aromas of dark berry fruits and woody spice. Aged 12 months in French oak, palate shows blackberry and plum with smoky wood flavors and notes of cacao and cinnamon spice. Soft ripe tannins, medium+ ending with a light toasty earthy character. Great value! Very nice! — 9 months ago
