Bodegas Juan Gil Monastrell 2006
Rating: 91 Pts. Jay Miller/ The Wine Advocate Wine Advocate The 2006 Juan Gil is also 100% Monastrell but aged for 12 months in French and American oak. It was sourced from an estate vineyard with 45 years of age. This purple-colored wine offers superb aromatics of wood smoke, damp earth, violets, and blueberry pie. Layered, succulent, and long, it will evolve for another 2-3 years and be at its best from 2010 to 2018. Score: 91. August 2008.International Wine Cellar Dark purple. Spicy blackberry and cassis on the nose. Refreshingly bitter cherry and dark berry skins flavors are brightened by zesty minerality and firmed by dusty tannins, picking up subtle iron and graphite qualities with air. Finishes with very good focus and youthful grip, the cherry note repeating. I like this wine's energy. Score: 90. —Josh Raynolds, October 2008.Wine Spectator This polished red shows black cherry, licorice, mineral and tobacco notes, harmonious and deep, supported by firm tannins. Medium-bodied, well-integrated and stylish. Drink now through 2012. Score: 90. —Thomas Matthews, February 28, 2009.Wine Enthusiast A touch minty and herbal, but also there’s chocolate and creamy richness to the nose. This is a big wine that’s hugely flavorful. It rumbles from bold berry to smoky dryness, and along the way there are stops at chocolate, coffee and black pepper. Always one of Jumilla’s better wines, assuming you like the extracted, modern style. Score: 89. —Michael Schachner, December 15, 2008. |
