An outstanding Monastrell from Jumilla. Dry farmed and produced from 50+ year old vines. Fans of rich Cabernet Sauvignon should think about buying this wine.

Excellent value, and a favorite among a group who were not Spanish wine fans.

The 2003 Juan Gil is more structured and powerful than its predecessor, but it may not be any better, at least over the next 12 months. Yet it still offers an incredibly impressive mouthful of wine. This dense ruby/purple-tinged 2003 offers up sweet notes of blueberries, blackberries, graphite, and wood in a smoky, rich, medium-bodied, full, fleshy style. An added attraction is the minerality that comes from these ancient vines' chalky/limestone soils. It should last 3-4 years ... at a minimum. -Wine Advocate

I love Spanish wines anyway, but this one is really special, full of spice and a really unique flavor that starts out with a kick and ends really smoothly and nice, not so tart as other Spanish reds I've had. Definitely worth a try because it has really interesting flavor.
