ok.. So.. When GV started I took a leap of faith.. I bought the El Nido Clio. What could I say? A guy starting a wine video blog who owns a wine store. Why wouldn’t he trump it up.

Today June 11th 2011 I opened one of the 6 bottles I bought. Wholly CRAP!

Strong fruit, leather flavor.. Freaking AWESOME!

If anyone wants the 2003, I have 2 bottles left!

Thanks Gary V!

I agree with you, just checked it out the 2005 el Nido is 130$ here, happy to see we’re not the only ones getting screwed though but yeah pissed off about the score putting the wine out of reach for me.
FYI you missed a comment a couple episodes a go, I thought you quit, but apparently I still have catching up to do.

QOTD: Only had a couple, including the Oddiuo podere 2005 recently, problem with these Nebbiolo wines is they need so much time, although they are good after a couple of years, the acidity is so high, you NEED food to drink them, but in a few years I know they’ll be awesome, probably the same reason I don’t drink much Bordeaux, I have some of both but I need to wait them out.

You can find some new world type Barolo and Barbaresco which are more seductive and ready to drink now but you loose a lot of the varietal specific caracteristics, so less interesting.

HOLY CRAP!!! i Can’t believe that the el-nido was 1/4 the price 4 years ago! i mean, that means it pretty much doubled every year! That is RIDICULOUS. This is the epitome of why i hate big ratings. Come on!! This was a great buy at $30 and maybe up to $50, but at $120 within 4 years is straight STUPID!

QOTD: Have had a barbaresco but dont have a favorite

Gary, its called a comb. Have had the Alto which was good, love all the different El Nido's, have a Tensley Syrah in cellar, have not tried. I am sure I have tried a Barbaresco, mostly at wine tastings, can't remember if I liked or not. www.winelx.com
