2021 Bodegas El Nido Clio Magnum

Clio Jumilla, is produced by Bodegas El Nido of the famous winemaker Juan Gill. The grapes for this wine are made from 12 Ha -29.65 acres- Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and 32 Ha -79 acres- very old Monastrell, with a very low yield. The vineyards are older than 60 years. The grapes are harvested manually with small baskets to prevent bruising. The bunches are brought to triage tables where only the best grapes are selected. The wine ages for 20-24 months in French and American new oak barrels where it acquires a very typical complexity. The wine is then left to mature in the bottle for a number of months and is then always released around the end of October/November of the year. The Clio is vinified by grandmaster Chris Ringland (good for 100/100 at Parker). Given the enormous demand and very limited supply, this wine, as also applies to the top model EL Nido , the Blue Label (18 meses) from Juan Gil and the Corteo, importers receive an allocation (which is always too little). Despite the price, this is still unique compared to other wines of the same quality and from that point of view it is a 'bargain'

The quality immediately jumps out of the glass when the scent starts: earthy, mushrooms, leather, blueberry and blackcurrant jam. The taste is also very complex but smooth at the same time, in which we find blue and black berries, some herbs and a light pepper. Powerful wine with exceptional balance and length. Breathtaking and of a very high standard. Delicious magnum of 1.5 liters. Only a limited number of bottles are made and in this type of bottle the wine is even tastier and can be drunk longer
