Bodegas El Nido Clio 2023

This commanding Rioja showcases the hallmark depth and complexity that defines El Nido's winemaking philosophy. Layered fruit character remains the foundation, while judicious oak integration introduces subtle balsamic and mineral undertones that enhance rather than overshadow the wine's core expression. A wine of considerable structure and aging potential, already demonstrating the refinement expected of this acclaimed vintage.

Grape Composition: 70% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon

Vinous: 93
The 2023 Clio is composed of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon from Jumilla. It was aged for 23 months in French and American oak barrels. Recently bottled, the oak is at the forefront but will integrate. The wine opens with plum, soft herbal notes and blackberry. Intense with fruit complexity, the palate is creamy, flavorful and delicate in tannins, finishing with a touch of oak that will meld with time.
