Juan Gil Blue Label 2023

Juan Gil Blue Label is a blend of hand-selected grapes from older parcels, averaging 75 years with low yields. Parcels are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and aged 18 months in new French and American oak barrels separately before blending. The wine is a red cherry color with garnet rim and powerful aroma of black fruits, roasted and balsamic notes. Complex and well-structured, unctuous and rounded, pleasant mouth-feel and very persistent with roasted, cocoa and spice hints. Balanced and harmonious, tasty, long and elegant finish marked by the sweetness from noble tannins of very ripe fruits, displaying its potential for bottle aging.

90 Points -

The 2023 Blue Label combines 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah from Jumilla. It was aged 18 months in French and American oak barrels. Intensely oaky on the nose, with vanilla and toasted notes, it is also dominated on the palate by wood, smoke and gripping tannins. This recalls a style from another era.
