Clio was our fastest commercialism alcohol finished the end yr. We plainly could not sustenance it in the collection. This is the tertiary vintage, our tertiary Clio story and the ordinal hit for this Spanish gem from Jumilla, Spain. The preceding vintage, the 2003 vintage, prescriptive 96 points from Robert Parker who besides gave the 2002 wine 93 points. This is somewhat palatial for a alcohol that, at that time, had with the sole purpose had two vintages behind it. After those rear to wager on ratings, we and the bourgeois sold-out out like a shot.
The 2004 has lately been released and we tasted it yesterday; it is every terribly bit as favorable as the two anterior vintages. This body is a byproduct of Jumilla, Spain which is a semi-dessert tract and has amazingly standardized weather conditions.
At the controls of this Spanish severe is Australian star wine maker Chris Ringland. His Clio is a beat of 60 time period old Monastrell (also proverbial as Mourvedre) and 25 twelvemonth old Cabernet Sauvignon vines. The alcoholic beverage exhibits a squeezed together purplish color on near a comfortable layering of ominous fruits and roast coffee and earth. It is a filled bodied alcoholic beverage - but not disgusting - remarkable concentration, multilayered mouth-feel and an utterly lasting ending.
Without query this alcoholic beverage out-drinks Jordan, Silver Oak and Stags Leap at a division of the price; it can be enjoyed now near meats or any other than hearty breakfast time. Even better, it has the house to level for 8 to10 old age if you can elude its bait.
