Accolades:
93/100 – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The 2021 Clio is ripe and heady with 16% alcohol and generous oak. It’s faithful to the house style, but like many other wines from the 2021 vintage from the Gil family, this also came through as fresher and more balanced than the 2020 counterpart. It has a full-bodied palate with abundant but finer tannins. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Tasting Note: 70% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 24 months in French and American oak. This wine exhibits a glass-coating opaque purple color. It has an expressive nose of pain grille, briar, minerality and blueberry and blackberry overtones. This plush, opulent wine has great density, savory flavors and a very lengthy finish that gets better with age. The vineyards of Bodegas El Nido include 12Ha (29.7 acres) of Cabernet Sauvignon and 32Ha (79 acres) of very old Monastrell, with a very low yield. The grapes are harvested in small baskets to prevent bruising, and only the best bunches are selected.
Alcohol: 15.5%
Variety: 70% Monastrell (Mourvèdre), 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
