2016 Bodegas LAN Gran Reserva, Rioja DOCa, Spain

Winemaker NotesIntense deep red-garnet with a ruby trim. In the nose is intense with black ripe fruit, fig and a touch of raisins all mixed with intense spicy and smoky notes. In the palate is harmonious, balanced with gentle tannins that allowed for a long aftertaste that strengthens the ripe fruit and spices aromas. Blend: 97% Tempranillo, 3% Mazuelo. PressRated 93 Points James SucklingBitter chocolate, raspberries, blackberries, spice box and some spearmint on the nose. Complex and flavorful, with a medium to full body, a firm tannin frame, and a lengthy, compact finish.
