Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The regular 2022 Blue Label (there's also a special cuvée in 2022) was still matured in new oak, but they used less toast and barrels from coopers that marked the wine less. It was produced with a blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah and had an élevage of 18 months. It's aromatic, spicy and toasty, with notes of vanilla and cinnamon, ripe berries and aromatic herbs. It's ripe at 15.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.71, 5.5 grams of acidity and three grams of residual sugar. It's medium to full-bodied with abundant, fine-grained tannins and some oak-related flavors. 28,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024.

Description
Juan Gil Blue Label is a red wine from the Jumilla DO, made mainly from Monastrell grapes (predominant variety), combined with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. These vines come from vineyards located at 700 metres above sea level, which gives them an optimal ripening, benefited by the climate of the region.
Winemaking
The wine is fermented separately in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in French and American oak barrels. The wine is aged for 18 months in these barrels, which adds complexity and structure to the wine.
Taste
On the nose, Juan Gil Blue Label stands out for its complexity, with deep and mineral aromas reminiscent of red fruits, accompanied by spicy nuances such as vanilla and pepper. On the palate, it is a robust and balanced wine, with juicy tannins from the Monastrell and the more austere structure of the Cabernet Sauvignon, achieving a perfect synergy between the two. It has a velvety texture and a long, elegant finish, ideal to accompany red meats or game stews.
In short, Juan Gil Blue Label is a wine with great ageing potential, perfect for those who want to enjoy a complex and well-structured wine.
