The 2021 Bodegas El Nido, Clio, Spain was a Merchant's Pick
Clio Today, Gone Tomorrow!
September 12, 2024
Dribs and drabs. That's how we get Clio - in tiny allocations. Here today and gone tomorrow, there is never enough Clio to satisfy our growing list of Clio fans.
We just received a small allocation of the 2021 Clio. So little Clio is available; with more and more of Clio's annual production remaining overseas, our waiting list continues to grow.
Clio, by Bodegas El Nido, caught on by wildfire several years ago with its 97 point Wine Advocate rating from Robert Parker. Before that, only a small group of aficionados hoarded it for themselves - including us.
What makes Clio so special and time-tested?
"Silky" is the word we hear most often when customers refer to this delicious Mourvedre and Cabernet Sauvignon blend.
The wine's hallmark notes leap out of the glass: earthy, mushroom, leather, blueberry, and blackcurrant jam. The flavor is equally rich and smooth, with notes of blue and black currants, some herbs, and mild pepper. The wine has remarkable length and balance. Chris Ringland, one of the most renowned Australian enologists, teamed up with the legendary Gil Family of Spain to make this one of a kind wine.
Clio is full-bodied yet not overpowering with silky tannins, concentration and an extremely long finish. This Spanish red is uniquely smooth, while at the same time structured; if it were from Napa, it would be 2x the price.
