El Nido is, to some extent, the opposite of Clío. Whereas for Clío the main variety is the Monastrell, for El Nido the leading light is the Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon, a grape which imposes its character and gives shape to a wine that's impressive from start to finish.
Even from appearance, its density with its Picota cherry colour and blueish tears tinting the glass, prepare us for a memorable experience. An expressive nose emits aromas of blueberries and blackberries complementing mineral ones, as well as hints of tobacco and chocolate. The toasty, oaky background adds an extra touch of complexity overall to a very complex and mature wine, yet at the same time easy to drink and understand. It signs off juicy and balsamic, making it abundantly clear why international critics absolutely adore it.
