User Reviews for Bodegas El Nido Red Blend Jumilla Clio
Add your reviewThe nose opens with a delightful medley of floral, herbal, and fruity aromas. The palate is immediately spicy, rich and wide. A variety of herbs punctuates a flavor combo of coffee and cassis, with licorice, dark chocolate and ripe cranberry emerging to enrich the savory brew. Drinks well for 24 hours, integrating and evolving constantly, but interesting at any interval.
The nose opens with a delightful medley of floral, herbal, and fruity aromas. The palate is immediately spicy, rich and wide. A variety of herbs punctuates a flavor combo of coffee and cassis, with licorice, dark chocolate and ripe cranberry emerging to enrich the savory brew. Drinks well for 24 hours, integrating and evolving constantly, but interesting at any interval.
This is a complex, herbaceous wine that needs three to four hours of breathing in the bottle to reach its peak. At uncorking, one senses that the wine will integrate and evolve over time, but it is elegant from the first whiff. The harmonies are uniquely combined. Aromas include coffee, vanilla, tobacco, cherry, and an assortment of herbs and spices. The first taste delivers herbal warmth on the back, accompanied by the purest notes of cherry and oak in the center. Spicy fruit emerges to balance the vibrant array of flavors, and the wine begins to develop a set of opposites that add to the interest. Chewy but not heavy. Voluptuous and hedonistic but also subtle and balanced. Creamy but energetic. Powerful but also refined and complex. Pungent but also sweet. Both sappy and light. All these paradoxes are held in delightful tension. At an hour and a half, new aromas and tastes emerge, including a bit of coffee, and some vanilla. At two hours, the cherry high notes continue on the palate, joined by a fresh assortment of spices. At three hours, pepper and spice, coconut, licorice, leather, brilliant red and dark fruits, smoked meat, plus earthy, floral and herbal medleys are all going on. At 3 ½ hours, the flavors invade every nook and cranny of the palate and intermingle enchantingly while the tannins provide a textured background and cavernous structure for an expanding crescendo of tastes. The finish is long and savory, with plenty of spice and zing, along with a wide acidity and a nasal penetration like a mild wasabi. This wine displays best at 3 ½ to 4 ½ hours.
One of the best I have tasted. Great body, good legs and solid taste...
Surprisingly tannic at this age. Can stay in the bottle for a few more years, but like other reviewers 3 hours or more in the decanter releases some hidden treasures. If you are impatient do not hesitate to decant the wine, then shake it as hard as you can without spilling it out of the decanter. This approach while viewed by some as crude yields a rewarding short-cut to waiting for three hours.
External Reviews for Bodegas El Nido Red Blend Jumilla Clio
Dark cherry red. Intense nose of ripe fruits (cassis) and comfit fruit mixed with sensations of toasted coffee and licorice, which bring finesse and elegance. Strength, flesh and opulence combine and develop little by little in the bottle.
Sharply focused raspberry, cassis and floral aromas are complicated by zesty minerals and a suave cocoa quality. Sweet red berry and cherry flavors are strikingly pure and deep, with fine-grained tannins adding shape and firmness. The mineral character repeats on the impressively long, juicy finish.
Dark opaque purple from core to rim. Big and concentrated but still soft, with pure aromas of red cherry and raspberry, Eastern spice, vanilla, and crème de cassis, coupled with a touch of mocha and a lilting sweetness that is quite attractive. Excep... Cory Gowan. A Proprietary Blend wine from Jumilla in Spain. 2010 Nido, Bodegas El Clio 750ml
Sattes, undurchdringliches Dunkelrot. Im Bouquet viel Würzigkeit, dunkle Frucht und eine klassische Röstaromatik mit Kokosnote vom amerikanischen Holz. Sehr reintönig und intensiv. Voluminöser Wein, mit viel Extraktsüsse und Gaumenfrucht aber auch mit seidig elegantem Tannin und einer kühl wirkenden Gaumenfrucht. Sehr gelungene Verbindung von Tradition und Moderne.
This Spanish blend is made by, Jorge Ordonez, Juan Gil and Chris Ringland and has a cult like following. It is a blend of Cabernet and Monastrell and is crafted in the New World style, ripe, rich, and structured.

Winemaker's Notes:
70% monastrell (old vines), 30% cabernet sauvignon. Dark cherry red. Intense nose of ripe fruits (cassis) and comfit fruit mixed with sensations of toasted coffee and licorice which bring finesse and elegance. Strength, flesh, savory and opulence combine in the palate of this wine that little by little develops in the bottle. Not yet reviewed; 2009 vintage rated 95+ points by Rhone Report: Possibly my favorite vintage of this to date, the brilliant 2009 Bodegas El Nido Jumilla Clio, mostly old vine Monastrell that's aged in new French oak, boasts awesome aromatics of smoky blackberry and creme de cassis that's intermixed with notions of roasted coffee, chocolate, mineral, and sweet spice on the nose. Full-bodied, impeccably balanced, and awesomely fresh and focused, this blockbuster has layers of sweet fruit and texture, ripe tannin, and a detailed, clean finish. While no doubt a seriously fruited wine that carries a shine of classy oak, it has real depth, character, and structure. It's beautiful now with a decant, but should be even better with 2-3 years of bottle age, and drink well for a decade or longer. I'm a huge fan and this is all around impressive!
