Campillo 1991 Rioja Gran Reserva Tempranillo (Rioja)
- Cellar Selection
- $75
The bouquet of dried cherries, plums, prunes and tobacco opens to a palate of dense fruit that’s dry and structured. This wine is big, but even textured and not heavy. Shows finely focused fruit and good grip. The dark fruit flavors add spice accents on the long finish. Cellar Selection.

Campillo 1998 Pago Cuesta Clara Raro Reserva Tempranillo (Rioja)
A special bottling from a vineyard planted in 1969 to the Tempranillo Peludo clone. The resulting wine is exceptionally ripe and extracted, with masses of soft tannins. Subtle coffee, toast and vanilla notes frame black cherry and plum fruit. Should age well and is bottled in mags and double-mags to help it keep. A statement wine for sure.

- $24
Nose of ripe spicy fruit with tobacco and earth accents. Similar full, chewy flavors ride the plush mouthfeel. The long finish is dense and dark.

Campillo 1999 Reserva Red (Rioja)
- $34
A smoky number with vibrant aromas of dried fruits mixed with campfire and molasses. It’s integrated and spicy, with cherry, apple-peel and other attractive secondary flavors. With no shortage of power and fine tannins, this wine is approaching its peak and should be good for another five years.

Campillo 1996 Reserva Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $24
Across the board, the Campillo wines are bigger and more robust than their Faustino stablemates. This reserva shows plenty of coffee and caramel aromas, allied to black cherry, plum and tobacco flavors. Smooth in the mouth, with a long, tart finish.

Campillo 1994 Gran Reserva Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $32
This shows some advanced aromatics of decayed fruit, coffee and tobacco, but at the same time it tastes robust and youthful, with plum and dark chocolate dominating the flavor profile. Finishes long and earthy, picking up notes of tar and vanilla.

Campillo 1996 Reserva Especial Red (Rioja)
- $56
Healthy in look, with tobacco, dried spices and pure wood notes on the nose. The palate is drizzled with plum and berry flavors, but there’s also ample tobacco and tomato-leaf accents. Overall this aging Rioja is healthy and has enough of the nuances and subtleties to make the grade.
