Enticing aromas of cassis, leather, licorice and coffee. The palate echoes the nose with dark, rich fruits and exotic spices, dusty cocoa and mocha. It is medium plus in body with supple tannins and persistent length.

"91 POINTS - The entry-level wine from El Nido, the 2014 Clio, is a blend of Monastrell (70%) from 60+-year-old vines with younger Cabernet Sauvignon (30%). It fermented in open-top 4,500-liter stainless steel tanks with neutral yeasts for about two weeks, then finished fermentation in new French and American oak barrels, where it underwent malolactic and 23 months of aging. There are plenty of balsamic and toasty aromas that seem stronger in comparison to the 2015." - The Wine Advocate, Luis Gutiérrez

This wine uses a rare grape called Tinto Velasco (only 50 hectares remain in the world). It smells of sweet blackberries, truffle and bramble. The medium plus-bodied palate is incredibly soft and ripe with deep blackcurrant fruit, mulberry, black cherry skins and the minerality of pencil lead lifted by fine acidity.
