El Nido is a joint venture between the Gil family (Finca Luzon, Juan Gil) and the Australia winemaker, Chris Ringland. The 2006 Bodegas El Nido Jumilla Clio is a blend of 30% Cabernet Sauvignon from 29 year old vines and 70% Monastrell from 64 year old vines and sees 26 months in new French and American oak barrels. Offering up a decidedly ripe, decadent bouquet of blackberry, cassis, coffee, oak and smoke, this is a slutty, full bore wine with full body, huge texture, sweet fruit and a long finish. The only nit would be that it’s slightly soft on the palate and lacks a little edge. I’m not complaining though and loved it.
