Drink Date:2025 - 2031
The 2021 Clio is ripe and heady with 16% alcohol and generous oak. It's faithful to the house style, but like many other wines from the 2021 vintage from the Gil family, this also came through as fresher and more balanced than the 2020 counterpart. It has a full-bodied palate with abundant but finer tannins. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.

Despite having very similar parameters, like 16% alcohol, the 2021 El Nido came through as fresher and more balanced than the 2020 I tasted next to it. It has a ripe and heady nose with notes of violets and very ripe fruit, spice, toast and a touch of creaminess. It's full-bodied, with density and pungent flavors that are very persistent. The quality of the tannins also feels different, more elegant here. It's still too young and it needs time. 5,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023

The 2020 Clio was produced with a blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that were picked at full ripeness (16% alcohol!). It fermented in stainless steel with neutral yeasts and matured in French and American oak barrels, where it also underwent malolactic and 22 months of élevage. It has a heady and creamy note, with a lactic twist and spicy notes. It has ripe fruit and abundant aromatic herbs, a full-bodied palate and abundant, slightly dusty tannins. 60,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022.
