VM 92 (9/2013): (70% monastrell and 30% cabernet sauvignon; aged for 24 months in new French and American oak): Opaque ruby. Ripe, expressive scents of black raspberry, cassis, dark chocolate, vanilla and potpourri. Fat, full and concentrated, offering intense black and blue fruit preserve flavors and notes of licorice and mocha. Finishes spicy and very long, with smooth, sweet tannins and slow-building smokiness. Josh Raynolds.
WS 91 (9/2013): Plush and polished, this big red delivers cassis, licorice, espresso and sanguine flavors, with firm, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. A savory style, showing balance and power. Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2020. 2,000 cases made.
WA 90 (2/2015): The 2010 Clio is a blend of Monastrell with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. As is customary here, the grapes fermented in open 4.5-ton stainless-steel vat and aged for 23 months on barriques. It has ripe notes of plums, esparto grass and some tree bark with a shy jamminess. The palate is medium to full-bodied with some tannins to be resolved and a slightly burning sensation that is pungent and powerful and a little sweet toward the finish. This wine somehow feels like it's evolving fast, and while it's going to keep, I don't think it's going to improve in the bottle, so I wouldn't keep it that long. 60,000 bottles were produced. |

VM 92 (1/2016): Vivid purple. Heady, spice-tinged aromas of dark berry preserves, incense and roasted coffee, joined by a floral nuance. The smoky, focused palate offers intense blackcurrant and bitter cherry flavors, bracing tangy acidity and bright minerality. Closes with excellent clarity and persistence, leaving floral pastille and cherry pit notes behind. (Drink between 2018-2024). Josh Raynolds.
WA 91 (6/2016): Next to the 2013 I also tasted the 2012 Clio, from a warmer, riper year, but an extra year in bottle had rendered the tannins and integrated the oak aromas and it shows more drinkable right now. The blend is constant across vintages. Mostly Monastrell with some 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the production method is also quite stable, fermentation in stainless steel and the wine transferred to barriques before the end of fermentation, where it goes through malolactic and a period of some 23 months before it is bottled. The palate shows some dusty tannins, as if the wine had extracted more from the oak and the tannins felt a bit dry. |

VM 94 (9/2013): Inky purple. Heady cherry, cassis and espresso aromas are complicated by suggestions of vanilla, dried flowers and smoky minerals. Powerful, deeply concentrated cherry preserve and dark berry liqueur flavors show impressive energy and pick up sexy floral, licorice and Indian spice nuances with air. Sweet, focused and penetrating on the endless finish, with the floral and mineral notes strongly repeating. Josh raynolds.
WA 92 (2/2015): All vintages, and in fact all wines, follow a very similar pattern, so there's not a lot new to say about the 2010 El Nido (70% Monastrell and the rest Cabernet, aged for 23 months in barrel) and it seems to follow the pattern of faster evolution like the rest of 2010; something that is a bit puzzling for a vintage that generally speaking was really good and almost textbook. The nose opens to balsamic notes with plenty of oak-related aromas, spices, alcohol, ripe plums and oxidative notes. The palate reveals masses of slightly chunky, rustic tannins and the fruit seems to be fading, so I'd opt for drinking it sooner rather than later. |
