Vintage Cellar Review: The dense ruby/purple-tinged, medium bodied 2004 Luzon Verde reveals a crisp, elegant, sweet, nose of blueberries, plums, lavender, and anise. With lovely sweetnedd and purity as well as a spicy, long, finish, it should provide plenty of enjoyment over the next 2-3 years. One of the oldest estates in Jumilla, Finca Luzon was founded by the Gil family in 1916. It has been consistent source of high class values for a number of years, and readers should be happy to know this is completely certified organic agriculture. This offering represents a superb bargain.
My Reviw: The smell of this one was kind of weird, it was sort of rubbery. It wasn't prominent, but the smell over the florals and fruits was like that of opening a can of fresh racquetballs. The taste was a little dryer than I prefer, but the overall taste was delicious. I got a nice citrus finish that complemented the dryness and initial fruit tastes. It was overall nice and full tasting, but I wouldn't buy an entire bottle of it, still not into those chardonnay type wines yet.
