Bodegas Juan Gil Honoro Vera Merlot 2015 DOP Jumilla, Spain

My Rating 84 Points.

Price $11.

Dark purple in color with a short purple rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, plums, cherries, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, peppercorn and vegetables.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, vinaigrette, dark coffee and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with firm tannins and black pepper.

This Spanish Merlot is nice and simple. Showing an enjoyable mouthfeel. Balanced and good by itself or with food.

I paired it with small appetizers. Would pair nicely with BBQ Meats, as well.
