Clio was our fastest selling intoxicant terminated the last twelvemonth. We accurately could not sustenance it in the depot. This is the 3rd vintage, our third Clio account and the 3rd hit for this Spanish gem from Jumilla, Spain. The erstwhile vintage, the 2003 vintage, normative 96 points from Robert Parker who besides gave the 2002 vino 93 points. This is rather stunning for a alcoholic beverage that, at that time, had solely had two vintages down it. After those final to vertebrae ratings, we and the bourgeois sold out in real time.
The 2004 has honourable been discharged and we tasted it yesterday; it is all severely bit as respectable as the two anterior vintages. This regularity is a upshot of Jumilla, Spain which is a semi-dessert piece of ground and has highly accordant environmental condition.
At the controls of this Spanish strong is Australian champion maker Chris Ringland. His Clio is a mix of 60 period of time old Monastrell (also familiar as Mourvedre) and 25 period old Cabernet Sauvignon vines. The inebriant exhibits a heavy chromatic color along next to a wealthy layering of pitch-black fruits and roasted drinkable and mud. It is a thorough bodied alcohol - but not overwhelming - very good concentration, multilayered mouth-feel and an absolutely time-consuming last part.
