Bruto 2021
HK$ 435.86
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Monastrell is from an ungrafted vineyard at 800 meters in altitude. It has more freshness and a little lower alcohol than the 2020. It has some toasty notes denoting youth after it matured in French and American oak barrels for 23 months. There's more fruit, and the oak feel better integrated. 13,000 bottles were filled in September 2023. I'd leave it in the cellar for a little while before pulling the cork, as these wines tend to evolve and absorb the oak nicely.

Description
Bruto is a single varietal red wine made from Monastrell grapes coming from vineyards at an altitude of 800 metres in the Jumilla region. This wine, produced by Bodegas Juan Gil, is a faithful exponent of the red wines of this region.
Winemaking
Bruto is made by vinification in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures and malolactic fermentation in French and American oak barrels. The ageing process lasts 23 months in these same barrels, which gives it a balanced integration between the fruit and the wood. The result is a powerful and structured wine, with an alcohol content of 15.5%.
Taste
In terms of its sensory profile, Bruto has an intense cherry red colour with garnet reflections. On the nose, aromas of ripe black fruits and notes of chocolate and roasted coffee. On the palate, it offers an enveloping and liqueur-like sensation, with a long and well-balanced aftertaste. These characteristics make this wine an excellent choice to accompany grilled meats, honeyed rice dishes and game dishes.
