Tasting Notes for Bodegas JUAN GIL Wines (D.O. Jumilla, Spain )

(Jan 2008)

HONORO VERA 2006 Monastrell 13% Alc 750ml (sulphur content)

Medium intense cherry red colour with plum blossom aroma on the nose. Young strawberry and mulberry flavours on the palate. Balanced acidity and sugar taste with mild and soft tannin as well as light crispy body. The alcoholic strength is not so obvious and the after taste is semi-dry with fruity finish although it is not so lengthy.

PEDRERA 2006 Monastrell 13.% Alc 750ml (sulphur content)

Medium cherry red hue with medium intensity. The nose is with new-ripen cranberry bouquet and the palate is full of hawthorn residue. Distinctive acidity overrides the fruity content although the tannin is smooth and soft. The body is light to medium whereas the alcoholic strength is not outstanding. Apparent wrong impression of over-dryness at the throat as affected by the high acidity and the finish is crispy but cool.

GOS 2006 Monastrell 14% Alc 750ml (sulphur content)

Dark and medium intense purple colour. Fresh blue berry juice on the nose. The palate is full of plum flavour, followed by oak-like aroma. The tannin is strong as supported by the high alcoholic strength whereas the body is medium. The finish is slightly dry and spicy and the acidity dominates the sugar taste, making the throat feeling a bit sour.

JUAN GIL 2006 White Label Monastrell 14.5% Alc 750ml (French & American Barrel treated)

Dark purple hue with medium to high intensity. Distinct oaky and ripen apricot flavours on the nose, followed by squeezed almond juicy palate. The alcoholic strength is well-balanced by the sugar content, the tannin is smooth and the body is medium as supported by solid texture. The after taste is fruity and lengthy warm.

JUAN GIL 2005 Silver Label Monastrell 14.5% Alc 750ml (French Barrel treated)

High intense dark purple colour. Indistinct oaky and strawberry aromas on the nose. A slight touch of cinnamon, vanilla and minerals on the palate. The alcoholic strength is not obvious and the fruity taste is long lasting. The tannin is silky and the body is full and heavy whereas the texture is not complex. The finish is marvellous that every mouthful sounds different between dry and semi-dry durations and the overall after taste is lengthy.
