Dirty old world Montepulciano blend. Drinks like Rioja used to in the 90s. Lots of charm and quality here. Medium bodied and easy to put down. — 9 years ago
Velvety smooth, huge balanced tannins and fruit forward. — 9 years ago

Jumillas Land has its own earthy characteristic. And this wine collects in perfect harmony all these senses from the earth. Good tannic balance , mineral taste with sparkling notes of wild fruits. I recommend it. — 10 years ago
Bespoke Collection. 2012 vintage. — 10 years ago
v2001. A bit of Brett, initially, but that dissipated about 30 min after opening, which allowed aromas of lavender, leather and black fruit to shine. Black cherry, roasted meat, and juicy acidity on the palate, and a great finish. I really can't relate to the low ratings some have given this wine. A good, moderately aged Rioja at $35? Yes, yes it is. — 10 years ago

2001 vintage. Garnet with hints of amber. Floral/blackberry nose. Rich velvety red fruit, off dry, slightly tart on the finish. Started at an hour and a half after opening, was still improving at three hours. Significant sediment, recommend decanting. — 10 years ago

Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 9 years ago

Feeling lucky to have tasted such a rare and special wine that usually never makes it to the states. It’s been quite a while since this moment. Hopefully we’ve begun to import it. — 7 years ago
