Goru El Blanco 2017, Do Jumilla Bottle
Goru El Blanco 2017, Do Jumilla
Murcia, Spain
$13.95

Nothing if not unusual. Quite perfumed and oily, and quite dry. Very assertive and certainly makes an interesting and worthwhile detour. Flowers are us! The low price is a bonus.

Wish I had bought more of these at the 7.45 sale price. A slight bitterness and I slight spritziness. I don't detect the sweetness noted by others. Quite full bodied.

Seems round and full to start but dies quickly. No length. A bit lifeless (low acidity?), but not unpleasant and decent value.

Musty graphite with a backbone of bright acidity. Quite a lovely wine. A good call by David Lawrason.

Fairly intense, medium-bodied wine with mineral undertone. Somewhat austere and serious. Interesting for sure.

Fantastic value for $14. Michael Godel's notes hit this on the nail. Tastes spritzy but isn't, against a backdrop of limestone. Very fresh.

Nice. Very subdued with some herbal notes, but still smooth and rounded. Would buy again for sure.

Very old school, complex nose. Pronounced sandlewood aromas and quite smooth. But a bit unbalanced, a tad too much acidity and it seems a bit thin in the middle. Not a fruit forward wine.
