1999 Casa de la Ermita Jumilla

[RAD]

Robert Parker would love this wine, made in the international style. A blend of Monastrell, Tempranillo, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep purple-black color. Sweet vanilla and crushed blackberries on the nose. Highly extracted; packs a wallop of oak, but keeps pumping out the fruit. A bit tight, with a touch of concentrated bitterness until it opens up. Organic farming. Great QPR. Alcohol 13.5%. 91/94.

Forgot to mention the price. $10.99 here in NYC.
