What the critics say
94 WAWine Advocate, Luis Gutierrez, 13-06-2024
Also from their initial vintage and released as part of the historical vintages range, the 1996 Cuvee El Campanario was produced with pure Tempranillo from vines planted between 1991 and 1994. 1996 was a textbook vintage with winter rains and a warm summer that allowed for perfect ripeness of the grapes. The wine has only 12.8% alcohol but shows ripe black fruit notes and an herbal touch, spicy and peppery, with a medium-bodied palate where the tannins are fully resolved. It lacks a little in the mid-palate but finishes with clean flavors and good length. It has a tertiary profile with notes of iodine and soy sauce, with a darker personality than El Palomar from this same inaugural vintage that I tasted next to it. It's great to be able to compare these two wines after so many years in bottle. It was bottled in June 1998. They are releasing some 120 bottles now.

Darkest ruby color. Spicy black raspberry, violet, licorice and toast aromas lifted by a chalky minerality. Fleshy entry, then very tight and backward, with powerful acids. A distinctly tougher style of wine, wrapped up in its own structure today. This will need several years of bottle aging to express itself. There will also be later-bottled special cuvees of 100% tempranillo and 100% cabernet from the '96 vintage, to be released next spring; barrel samples of these extremely impressive wines merited scores in the 93-95 range.
