Robert Parker
The 2023 El Nido was produced with a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon from 12 hectares planted in 1986 and 30% Monastrell from 32 hectares of vines with an average age of 76 years. It fermented in small stainless steel tanks with neutral yeasts and matured in new French and American oak barrels. It’s very similar to the Clio from this same vintage—all about the barrels, spices, toast and smoke, creamy and woody.Â
