El Nido Jumlila La Viña de Corteo 2015

95 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): “Inky purple. Ripe black/blue fruits, incense, olive paste, vanilla and candied flowers on the intensely perfumed, spice- and mineral-accented nose. Velvety in texture and deeply concentrated, offering well-delineated cassis, blueberry, violet pastille, bitter chocolate and spicecake flavors that spread out and become sweeter with air while maintaining energy. Shows intense dark fruit thrust on a strikingly long, floral-driven finish, which is shaped by smooth, well-knit tannins. (malo and 30 months of aging in large, new French oak barrels) Drink: 2023-2033. (Apr 2019)”

94 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: “(100% syrah). Colour: very deep cherry, black cherry. Nose: closed, powerful, characterful, complex, cocoa bean. Palate: good structure, sweet tannins, creamy. (2019)”

93 points Wine Spectator: “Rich, thick and bold, this mouthfilling red delivers a gusher of currant, plum pudding, licorice, chocolate and black pepper flavors, with muscular tannins, sweet-tart acidity and a heady, jammy finish. Powerful, yet achieves balance, in the modern style. Syrah. Drink now through 2030. 50 cases imported. (7/11/18)”
