"(2021) El Vinculo is part of the Grupo Pesquera, and this from 25-year-old vines in La Mancha, at 650- to 750-metres altitude, is aged 24 months in American oak. Bright cherry/ruby red, the nose is attractive, like a pot-pourri of berries, spices, vanilla and tobacco. In the mouth there is surprising energy and spark given the nose promised a more lush character perhaps, but there is plenty of depth of fruit, there is that vanilla and light woodsmoky fragrance, and the balance is good: tannins tight, but the acid rippling across the finish."

"This bullish La Mancha Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero's Alejandro Fernández is ripe, earthy, mossy and woody on the nose, with aromas of cedar, cassis and blackberry. Saturated and chunky on the palate, with roasted black-fruit flavors, this finishes oaky, thick and with full tannins."

86 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "El Vinculo Crianza" from the vintage 2009 on 01.01.2014 with 86 of 100 points.
"Full, pushy aromas of stewed plum, tomato, herbs and heavy oak come in front of a high-acid palate with salty flavors of herbal red plum, oregano, basil and tomato. A saline character sits heavily on the wine's chunky finish."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
84 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "El Vinculo Crianza" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2012 with 84 of 100 points.
"A granular, horsey note is the greeting, and never does this truly find its sweet spot. The aromas are raisiny, while the palate is angular and acidic. Flavors of tomato, herb, tobacco and plum don't quite find their footing. The finish is thick and tastes of molasses, carob and herb."

"Guia Penin" has rated the wine "El Vinculo Crianza" from the vintage 2005 on 01.06.2011 with 89 of 100 points.

89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "El Vinculo Crianza" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2008 with 89 of 100 points.
"Big and burly, with highly respectable aromas of ripe blackberry, toast and mint. Attractive plum and blackberry flavors follow, and as it passes from palate to finish the wine shows its depth and structure. A little stiff in terms of oak and tannin and kind of simple overall. Still, it's a wine that indicates that La Mancha could finally be ready for the world stage."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "El Vinculo Crianza" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2005 with 87 of 100 points.
"Fairly deep and saturated, at least to the eye. It's a dark, soft wine with leather, earth and blueberry aromas. The palate is alive and balanced, with black cherry and plum flavors. Not overpowering at any point, with coffee and chocolate on the finish. Imported by Classical Wines."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "El Vinculo Crianza" from the vintage 2000 on 01.01.2004 with 87 of 100 points.
"Aromas of charred beef, pepper and raspberry start it off before giving way to a questionable grassiness. Flavors of blackberry, plum and cassis carry the forward palate, which is nothing if not power-packed and forward. Ripe tannins are highly evident but they don't pound away."
yr. 1999 Wine Enthusiast:
85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "El Vinculo Crianza" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2003 with 85 of 100 points.
"The nose is unusual, offering soil, eucalyptus and barbecue marinade aromas. Ripe red fruit is front-loaded on the palate, with the midpalate and finish showing more oak accents than fruit. Chalky tannins add texture to the otherwise lightweight mouthfeel. --D.M."

"Mature nose with leather, wood, dried fruit, prune and some animal notes. Full palate, oak dominated flavours, vanilla, leather and dried fruit, rather long but a lot of extract and wood at present."
