Tasting Notes: Ripe and fruity on the nose with characters of dried, candied fruit, spicy, toasted oak and intense florals.

Bodegas Luzon 2018 Finca Luzon - 88pts

Bodegas Luzon 2018 Finca Luzon (Jumilla D.O.) Spain

Availability: Private stores like Everything Wine
Cost: $22-25
Alcohol: 14%
Date Tasted: November 9th, 2020

Tasting Notes: Structured as an Old World, dry, savoury-first, wine made from Monastrell (Mourvedre) grapes sourced from vineyards in the Jumilla region of Spain, the overall profile, happily, isn't desolate of fruit, offering nice blue fruits on the pruny nose and the plum sauce-flavoured palate. Yet, it is the savoury, earthy notes of leather, oak, spice and sun-drenched rocks which linger and feature most prominently. Ready to go now. Drink 2020-2023.
