Hailing from the sun-drenched soils of Jumilla, the Ego Bodegas Goru 38 Barrels 2020 is a wine that truly stands out. Garnering a hard-earned score of 96 points, it’s a testament to the region’s ability to produce top-tier wines. The flavor profile is a harmonious blend of ripe blackberries and plums, balanced by a backbone of vanilla and licorice, a result of careful ageing in French and American oak barrels. It’s a full-bodied, robust wine, yet it retains an elegant smoothness that is a delight on the palate. This is the kind of wine that shines at a festive dinner party, pairing beautifully with hearty roasts or a selection of bold, mature cheeses. Given its quality and the prestige of its rating, it’s a smart purchase that delivers well beyond its peers.
