"A Monastrell cuvée, Carmine 2010 is vinified in open vats 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 grape variety than a Jumilla grape variety. The palate is fleshy with a nice texture and moderate acidity, revealing concentration and power. Modern and very well made, it is difficult to identify the terroir or grape variety, but it should pair very well with powerful dishes." (Wine Advocate 2015)

Before decanting: awful. After: bad. Went to the vinegar maker.

Powerful, pleasant, has been improving steadily for three years. Still has aging potential.

Review and opinion by Mr. ANTONY M. Published on February 1, 2017
Tannic, smoky, and olive on the palate, with good length. While not outstanding, this wine surprises with its generosity. Best enjoyed at least two hours after opening. Undeniable value for money.

Completely uninteresting. This wine is a punishment.

Note and opinion by Mr. ANTOINE M. Published on January 24, 2016
What a shame... to have only bought two bottles. Rivals the greatest Côtes du Rhône wines. Powerful aromas of earth and olive, perfectly balanced.
