Tasting Notes

Bodegas El Nido Clio 2019 is crafted primarily from Monastrell (Mourvèdre) blended with Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine shows an inky, opaque purple color with an expressive aromatic profile of blackberries, blueberries, cassis, black cherries, baking spices, anise, tobacco, and charred oak. On the palate it is full‑bodied, dense, and richly textured, delivering layers of ripe black cherries, black raspberries, plum, vanilla, dark chocolate, and spice, supported by round tannins, medium acidity, and a long, savory finish. Its structure and concentration reflect the warm Jumilla climate and the extremely low‑yielding old vines that produce intensely flavored fruit.

Clio’s bold, fruit‑driven, high‑intensity profile makes it a natural partner for beef, lamb, game meats, and hearty pasta dishes, especially those with char, smoke, or rich sauces. Its plush texture and dark fruit also complement barbecue, braised meats, and slow‑cooked dishes where sweetness and spice interplay with the wine’s depth. While it can be enjoyed on its own due to its opulence, decanting enhances its aromatic complexity and softens its youthful power.
