A Monastrell from Jumilla which I always enjoy. 18 months in oak. Very hot and dry aromas in the nose, sour red fruits, Black Forest berries, handful of nuts, jam. Very nice acidity and tannins, could still wait couple of years and age beautifully — 8 years ago
Began 1916, when Juan Gil Giménez, great-grandfather of the present generation, built a winery in heart of Jumilla. Blue label spent 18 months in new French and American oak barrels. Monastrell, Cab Sauv & Syrah blend (60/30/10), low yield, aromas of red berry and toasty oak. Palate shows flavors of dark berry fruits, espresso, cacao and hints of sweet spice. Round dusty tannins, well integrated with oak, medium+ finish ending with fruit and rich earthy oaky character. — 4 years ago
Très bon, un vin assez passe-partout,
Très représentatif d’un Jumilla, mais avec une toute petite note légèrement sucré.
Fruit rouge, léger boisé et épicé. — 5 years ago
The wine is fresh considering the region , exhibiting nice floral notes, red fruits, and fantastic minerality that I love from priorat. No better example of the region for the price. — 6 years ago
Fuck elegance. A bottle filled with sugar will do nicely. @Anthony De Blasi — 6 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

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
