Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Juan Gil Etiqueta Azul is deep ruby with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Bold and confident, this blend of Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah displays complex notes of toast and spices that slowly evolve into notes of blackcurrants, blueberries and violets, with some creamy nuances. This vegan wine also suggests hints of coffee, Havanna cigars, and remembrances of Mediterranean garrigue. |
| Palate | This wine from Juan Gil is, no doubt, full-bodied and huge. However, it has a fantastic acidity, while also displaying considerable nuance. Ripe tannins and long, complex finish with remembrances of garrigue, dry earth, wild berries. |
| Our personal opinion | Suggestive, rich and age-worthy Juan Gil Etiqueta Azul 2021 is the perfect accompaniment to hearty dishes. |

Great 2020 wine year
I've been drinking this wine quite a few years and its quality is always very good and constant, just like this 2020 year. They're doing a great job at Juan Gil's!

Less and less oaky over the last years. Big body, but ripped fat-free. Quite a wine, you know.

A personal favorite
Big wine, deep and concentrated. It is already very good, but in my view it still needs a couple of years to get rid of the baby fat completely. Top winery.
