91 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "[$35 list] The 2017 Juan Gil (blue label) was formerly known as 18 Months, which is the amount of time it matured in barrel. It is a blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah fermented in stainless steel and matured in new barrels for 18 months. This is the wine from the portfolio where they keep 100% new oak and use French grapes to give it more of a voluptuous, ripe (15.5% alcohol) and generously oaked, somehow international profile. Ashy and with liqueur-like notes and plenty of dusty tannins, it's for fans of ripe, heady and oaky reds. There's a sweet sensation in the finish, notes of chocolate, cocoa powder and espresso coffee. Drink: 2020-2025. (Sep 2020)"
Producer notes: "Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Purple/black in colour, it proffers a nose of pain grille, graphite, earth notes, spice box, black fruits, and a hint of balsamic. It opens in the grlass to reveal excellent density, savory flavors, plenty of spice, and a lengthy, pure finis. It will evolve well for 2-3 years and drink well for many years."
