Robert Parker

“A Monastrell cuvée, the 2010 Carmine is vinified in open tanks and then transferred to barrels for malolactic fermentation, where the wine is aged for 10 months. The aromas of smoked bacon and black olives are more reminiscent of a Rhône variety than a Jumilla variety. The palate is full-bodied with a nice texture and moderate acidity, revealing concentration and power. Modern and very well crafted, it’s difficult to identify the terroir or the grape variety; it should pair very well with hearty dishes.” (Wine Advocate 2015)
