2023 Casa Castillo Jumilla Monastrell
Secondary Description
Sloe and blackcherry, thyme and paprika. Juicy, herbal and vivid. Floral topnote, herbal bass. Medium (plus) bodied. Tannins are present but not too grippy. Full of fruit and reminiscent of the Rhone. At this youthful stage of its life, it will yummy its way through whatever food you should choose to pair it with - lamb stew, tripe in tomato, tacos, spaghetti bolognese, vinadaloo - it will take all comers.

Luis Gutierrez
I tasted two vintages from the entry-level young wine, the oldest of which is the 2023 Monastrell, which is 100% Monastrell, as yields of Garnacha were low and was all used for El Molar. The wine shows very clean, focused, fresh and nuanced. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol and has a sense of freshness that goes beyond the parameters of pH and total acidity, coming through as harmonious and balanced. It has a medium-bodied palate and very fine tannins, with a tender texture, fine-boned and serious, and it`s mineral and tasty. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled from the same lot during a period of six months. 93 points
