Juan Gil Clio 2021 Jumilla - Spain

#56 in the TOP 100 Wine Spectator 2024

Cépages: 70% Monastrell - 30% Cabernet Sauvignon

94 Points Vinous: The 2021 Clio is a blend of 70% Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the 1936-planted Zingla Vineyard in Jumilla. Aged for 23 months in French and American oak, this garnet-hued wine offers complex aromas of herbs and plums, complemented notes of mint, balsamic and ash. Concentrated and rich on the palate, it flows with a silky texture, culminating in a velvety finish. This is a ripe, sun-kissed red with a precisely executed barrel-aging regimen. - By Joaquin Hidalgo on April 2024
