Bodegas Ego, 'El Goru' 38 Barrels, Jumilla, Spain, 2020

Ego’s Goru Gold has become one of our most in-demand Spanish reds, and their Goru 38—a limited selection cuvée of top lots of Monastrell (aka Mourvèdre), Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon—is a stunner that lives a distinct step up the quality ladder. The Decanter World Wine Awards bestowed 96 points and a gold medal on this wine, lauding it as “beautifully turned out,” with “great verve and drive.”
Monastrell thrives in the searing climes of Jumilla, which receives 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, and ripens beautifully while keeping a lively streak of acidity thanks to the area’s high elevation and wide diurnal temperature swings. The results, the late Josh Raynolds of Vinoussaid, are “deeply fruity, concentrated, and highly perfumed wines that deliver immediate pleasure for ridiculously low prices”—and that perfectly describes the Goru 38 Barrels.

96 Points - Decanter
Ripe aromas of black cherry and blackcurrant with some dusty cinnamon spice. There is great verve and drive in the mouth with notes of blackcurrant leaves, blackcurrants and dark cherries, soft and round tannins and lively acidity. Beautifully turned out, big, structured and carries its alcohol well.
