| "A serious effort, the 2004 Juan Gil is fashioned from 45-year-old Mourvedre vines and is aged for 12 months in American and French oak. This rich, full-bodied, inky/purple-tinged cuvee exhibits aromas of scorched earth, blueberries, licorice, and pepper, a savory, layered texture, and remarkable opulence for a Mourvedre. Drink it over the next 3-4 years." Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Aug 2006.
"Ruby-red. Floral, mineral and fresh herb accents atop bright red berry aromas. Supple and juicy, with impressive concentration to the fresh, pure raspberry and blackberry flavors. The finish builds and deepens, with reverberating darker fruit tones." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 06 | |
