VINEYARDS: Selected vineyards in the Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, aged between 10 and 20 years. Chalky-clay soils, located on well-drained slopes with good sun exposure.Bright cherry red with a garnet rim. A refined nose with predominant notes of red and stone fruits: strawberry, raspberry and peach. Patisserie and cream encased in elegant notes of vanilla, caramel and a subtle hint of cinnamon. It is flavourful and expressive on the palate. It is immediately inviting, enveloping the palate and leaving a long and pleasant aftertaste.

Blackberry jam and leather nose. Hot alcohol nose dissipates with decanting. Leather and blueberry are prominent with notes of oak, vanilla, plum, cocoa followed by balanced fruit acidity and pleasing oaky tannins.

Quite dry with little fruit on opening. Gradually showed more fruit over time. Received as a gift and would not rush out to buy it.

Used to really like LAN. Seems like they have lost their touch.
