Critical Acclaim

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

I also tested the 2019 Juan Gil (blue label), the wine is formerly known as 18 Months, the time it spends in the barrel. They use 100% new oak which is a mixture of French and American. The wine is ripe, oaky, and heady (15.5% alcohol), but I felt a change in the oak, which seemed more integrated. When I asked Miguel Gil, he told me they had changed the toast, using less toasted barrels, from medium+ to medium, and that shows in the wine. They still believe this wine should have new oak to give it aging potential. They have also introduced optical sorting of the grapes and eliminated the raisins (by shape) and the unripe grains (by color), and which adds precision and cleanliness. 30,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in June 2021.
