Note di degustazione
(70% monastrell and 30% cabernet sauvignon) Ruby-red. Spicy, sharply focused raspberry and blackberry on the nose, with exotic anise and incense adding complexity. Taut and fat-free, with powerful dark fruit flavors and a dusty tannic frame. Minerals build on the very long, strikingly spicy finish. This delivers wonderful energy.

Very dark crimson. Very thick, gamey, chewy, rather wild and rank with lots of acidity. Masses of acidity in fact – I suppose one is meant to keep this for a while. No grapes specified on the label – seems a bit rough and aggressive to me, albeit with a top-note of creamed coconut. Seems very, very sweet then tannins unintegrated. Pretty chewy. Definitely not my style but should suit those looking for a heavy hit. (JR)
The consulting winemaker at Bodegas El Nido is Chris Ringland of Barossa Valley fame. Amazingly, the 2004 El Nido is even better. It is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Monastrell sourced from the same vineyards as its sibling but from the tenderloin portions, and it received the same oak treatment. Similar in color, the nose offers a beautiful perfume of pain grille, vanilla, forest floor, black currant, and blackberry liqueur. The wine is more elegant on the palate with a velvety texture, layers of spicy black fruits, and great depth and balance. It admirably marries elegance and power. Cellar this fabulous wine for 3-4 years and drink it over the following 10-15. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
