Spectacular bottle. The oak was very prominent and the feel was surprising for a wine so young. I will absolutely buy more and keep them for a season or two to let the super bold fruit, floral and mineral subtleties blend. A steal for under $50. Much better than some $90+ I've had in the last year.

the 2006 is superior to the 2005. Just did a blind tasted test with the 2005 vs the 2006 and 90% enjoyed the 2006. the '06 is more approachable and balanced now. The 2005 is good too, but needs another 3-5 years of cellaring. Also blind tested the '05 & '06 Juan Gil. Same results for the most part. All four great wine values though

This wine was a knockout. There was this absolutely beautiful blood orange component to the nose, that settled down a bit but was joined by orange blossom and clover honey, along with magnificent red fruits. An absolutely delicious wine that I'd imagine will get more delicious in the bottle. We decanted for about 3 hours before it really started wow-ing us.

This was a dense, powerful wine and I found it to be truly remarkable. Robert Parker was at this venue over Father's Day and said this wine was "Stunning stuff." It is. Not for the weak palette, but worth a try if you like big, bold reds. This had a pleasant, floral finish that lingered long.
*** Tasted again today 8/8/09 at Marche` Bacchus and I again gave it 4 1/2 "glasses". Truly wonderful and a bargain at $46 (at this store anyway). parker has since given it 95 pts.
