($46; 70% monastrell with 30% cabernet sauvignon) Deep, bright ruby. Powerful aromas of blackberry, blueberry, smoky herbs, potpourri and Asians spices. Weighty dark berry flavors display a liqueur-like depth, with zesty minerality providing lift and velvety tannins adding support. Manages to be large-scaled and lithe at once, finishing with real cut and clarity. This seamless wine is delicious now, and I'd be inclined to drink it young for its alluring, vivacious fruit.Author: Josh RaynoldsIssue: September/October 2009Jancis Robinson | Rating: 16
70% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.Very young and slightly reduced at the moment. Sweet and juicy and impressive but for tasting not for drinking. (JH)Drink Dates: 2009-2012Author: Julia Harding MWWine Advocate | Rating: 95
The purple/black 2006 Clio is composed of 70% old vine Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 26 months in new oak. It offers up a super-sexy nose of underbrush, incense, lavender, blueberry muffin, and black currant. Voluptuous and creamy on the palate, this loaded, well-balanced wine is a total turn-on. For those who prefer their flavor in moderation, look elsewhere. Drink this pleasure-bent effort from 2011 to 2021.Drink Dates: 2011-2021Author: Jay MillerWine Spectator | Rating: 90

Dark ruby red. Luscious sweet berries on the nose with soft burning incense aromas. Intense sweet fruit on the palate; powerful rich blueberry, blackcurrant and creamy vanilla, backed with soft spicy oak.Author: biggsySelf | Rating: 94
Deep dark ruby red, gorgeous nose of ripe cherries and blueberries, smooth well integrated tannins with a almost 60 second finish. Even better the next day when the tannins smoothed out beautifully. A really nice wine for the money.Drink Dates: 2012-2025Author: David 429Self | Rating: 90

Just a brief comment to once again indicate the spectacular balance, mouth-watering, fruit-forward and elegant structure of the 2006 Clio.Author: nyceboSelf | Rating: 96
Just one of my absolute favorite wines. I will be buying a case every vintage of this bruiser. Very dark black fruit and oak bomb with 15.5% alcohol that is completely integrated. Very young wine with very firm sharp tannins and loads of jammy fruit. Awesome wine, buy if you can.Author: SchmaltzySelf | Rating: 95
