Lot #116. Bodegas el Nido Clio 2004

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: Spain, Murcia, Jumilla.
Score: 97 WA.
"The consulting winemaker at Bodegas El Nido is Chris Ringland of Barossa Valley fame. The 2004 Clio is 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 70% Monastrell (from 63-year-old vines) which received malolactic fermentation in new oak followed by 26 months of aging in new French and American barriques. A glass-coating opaque purple, it exhibits a sensational nose of earth, mushroom, leather, blueberry, and blackberry jam. On the palate the wine is supple-textured, complex, with vibrant flavors of spicy blue and black fruits and a big-time WOW factor. This is a totally hedonistic effort with exceptional length and balance. It is remarkably light on its feet for such a powerful wine." Wine Advocate #169, Feb 2007
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $70
