"I had two vintages to taste from the two wines from El Nido, starting with the 2013 Clio, produced from what the Gil family consider one of their most successful vintages as a blend of Monastrell with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. It started fermenting in stainless steel vats and finished in new oak barrels where it also underwent malolactic fermentation and 23 months élevage. The oak is more evident here than in the 2012, but the wine seems to have better freshness and more acidity and in the long run it should integrate it nicely. " - Luis Gutierrez (Wine Advocate)

Vinous
- (aged for two years in a 50/50 mix of new and used French and American oak barrels) Opaque ruby. Intensely perfumed aromas of blueberry, cherry-vanilla, mocha and candied flowers, lifted by a jolt of peppery spices. Coats the palate with concentrated black and blue fruit and spicecake flavors and shows surprising energy for its depth and power. Violet pastille, allspice and vanilla notes build with air and carry through a very long, sweet finish shaped by smooth tannins.
