July’s wine is the 2016 Abel Mendoza Jarrarte Maceracion Carbonica Joven, Rioja DOC, Spain (€6.70 from www.bullmet.com).
Robert Parker says:
“The delicious, aromatic, juicy and showy red 2016 Jarrarte Maceración Carbónica is a lot more serious than the name might suggest to many. The nose is simply spectacular and the palate is soft, gentle, approachable but not banal..” (91/100)
