Note di degustazione
(aged for two years in new French and American oak barrels) Deep, bright-rimmed purple. A complex, expansive bouquet displays candied black/blue fruit, vanilla, Moroccan spice and cola qualities, with violet and dark chocolate notes building in the glass. Sweet and deeply concentrated, offering hefty, mineral-laced blackberry, cherry compote, fruitcake and vanilla flavors and a suave floral nuance. Firms up slowly on a strikingly long, chewy and dark fruit-dominated finish that's framed by dusty, building tannins.

Following the style of the Clio from the same vintage, the 2015 El Nido is a powerful, ripe and concentrated blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with 30% Monastrell aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 23 months. It's bottled with 16% alcohol, not a shy wine but not one that shows heat, as it keeps the balance in an XL way. It feels concentrated, powerful and young, but the oak is surprisingly more integrated than in the 2014. As it happens with many wines, this is not for everybody, as it has a marked style, but for those who like this profile, this could very well be the finest vintage of El Nido to date. It can be had with powerful food, but it should be better with a few years in bottle. 5,500 bottles were filled in September 2017.
