A truly special wine. Great balance or cherry fruity and tannins. Better Bordeaux are double the price. What a value, even at $80. — 8 years ago

Full bodied, fruity, smoky with some tannins to balance the sweetness. I loved this wine, and I rarely say that about any bottle at this price point. — 8 years ago

Intense fruit but not in a bad way. The illustration on the label is a pretty good indicator of what's in the bottle. — 8 years ago

Thin. More like a Pinot than a Malbec. For a Pinot, it's average. For a Malbec disappointing. — 9 years ago

Was unfamiliar with a Jumilla but found it easy to drink - lots of fruitiness a little smokiness and mild acids. — 8 years ago

Drier than expected. A passable Brunello but well below the better ones. Got this at Trader Joe's for about $20. There are better wines out there at the same price point. — 8 years ago
