Bodegas Juan Gil


Another 90 rating from Wine Advocate, another Jorge Ordonez selection. Bodegas Juan Gil ($-$$) 2004 is the color of your old "oxblood" Doc Martens. Aromas of blueberries/blackberries and tobacco, a rich, velvety mouthfeel, a perfect balance of fruit and alcohol, and price point make this one of my favorite wines this year.
What does all this translate to? This is an inexpensive wine that features many of the qualities of a wine that costs much, much more.
Mo said this wine lacked much aftertaste, which she felt was its downfall. I enjoyed this aspect, however.
Buy this wine!!!
