2005 Bodegas El Nido Jumilla Clio

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Friday, April 11, 2008

This is the mid-level wine from Bodegas El Nido. The color is an inky, dense ruby. It is certainly not shy. The aromas are quite powerful, with gobs of new oak, tar, and over-ripe plums. It is dense and heavy like a sledge hammer on the palate, with a mass of alcohol, candied fruits, and smooth tannins. In its fruit, there's a new world element. While sometimes a criticism, here, it works, and comes from a carefully crafted, well-balanced product. It is a wine for fans of huge wine. It will be a good pairing with spicy, or heavy food. Excellent quality at this price. I opened this wine to pair with home-made chili Retail: $40.
