94 points PeñÃn Guide to Spanish Wine: "(70% monastrell, 30% cabernet sauvignon). Colour: very deep cherry. Nose: aromatic coffee, powerful, ripe fruit, black fruit, characterful, complex. Palate: smoky aftertaste, great length, round tannins. (2024)"
91 points Falstaff Guide: "An intense bouquet with notes of red berries, plum, hints of nougat and milk chocolate and a subtle wood savouriness. Voluminous and powerful on the palate with vivid wood notes and confit dark berries. Polished tannins and a long finish with hints of caramel and liquorice. (3/24/23)"
91 points James Suckling: "Mocha, cassis, olives, stewed black fruit and blackberry jam. Dense, opulent and full-bodied, with broad and creamy tannins. It’s a big wine, but flavorful and polished. Vegan. Drink now. (6/4/23)"
A blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 24 months in French and American oak. The wine exhibits a glass-coating opaque purple color. The nose is expressive with pain grille, underbrush, brier, minerality, blueberry and blackberry fruit. On the palate is a plush, opulent wine with great density, savory flavors, and a lengthy finish. Bodegas El Nido is a collaboration of the Gil Family and winemaker Chris Ringland, one of the best Australian enologists. The winery is located in the Valle de La Aragona, inside the Murcia district of Jumilla. The vineyards are 76.8 acres of very old Monastrell vines (also known as Mataró or Mourvèdre) all vaso trained and oriented northeast, and 28.8 acres of 30-year old Cabernet Sauvignon vines on north facing hills. The vineyards have a foot deep layer of chalky stones over substrata of sandy soil.
