El Vínculo Crianza 2020

El Vínculo is a La Mancha classic and a wine that really has contributed to the prestige of this very extensive denomination. Always rewarding and pleasurable, El Vínculo is clearly distinguished by the style and personality of its creator, Alejandro Fernández: refined, with no harshness or rough edges, a wine in which the ripe fruit merges magically with the oak. Alejandro Fernández does indeed love the Tempranillo. After establishing his wineries in the Ribera del Duero (Tinto Pesquera and Condado de Haza) and convinced that this grape also had potential in La Mancha's vineyards, he created El Vínculo, a winery and wines which, like all the others, never disappoint, neither when young, nor after the passage of time. High quality, long-lived and extremely enjoyable wines. On the nose, El Vínculo offers an intense aromatic palette, a combination of ripe fruit, especially black berries, and aromas acquired with ageing: leather, tobacco, chocolate, fragrant herbs, sweet spices, honeycomb, orange peel...; a very well blended classic bouquet, sweet and most pleasant, with an earthy undertone that becomes more intense on the palate, prevailing with the powerful and meaty structure, and constantly silky tannins. Decant it for a few minutes so that it has time to breathe, and enjoy it with the superb dishes presented by the region's traditional cuisine: suckling pig, lamb stew, grilled black pudding and chorizo, or semi-cured sheep's cheeses.
