Opinión de los críticos
La Servil Monastrell comes from two vineyards, between 60-70 years of age, at 960m planted on mostly limestone soils. An astonishingly fresh and pretty wine with rose petal, red cherry and raspberry fruit, it offers enough depth and density to give the palate enough grip and grunt. With a slatey backbone and a touch of dark chocolate from 12 months in 500-litre French oak, it is both light on its feet and offers impressive intensity. Modern Jumilla whose character lies in the region’s origins. 2024 - 2030
Like in 2021, the 2022 La Servil had a shorter maceration—a constant in all the reds—which they believe keeps more of the character of the places. It fermented at highish temperature and had a long élevage in large oak foudres for 20 months. This has a serious profile; it was a bit closed at first (a constant in the 2022 reds) but opened up nicely in the glass to subtle floral aromas, notes of blood orange and juicy fruit and is faintly spicy, with notes of aromatic herbs. It has a medium-bodied palate with 14% alcohol but contained ripeness, and it shows the complexity of the different soils and expositions with depth and harmony. This comes from 11.9 hectares of old vines, a large vineyard on sandy soils with some marl and limestone mother rock. They produced 15,000 bottles. It was bottled in March 2024.
Espectacular. Un monastrell muy fluido pero intenso. Elegante, complejo y largo.
