2016 Bodegas LAN Rioja Reserva

Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Thursday, August 10, 2023 - I spent 7 beautiful , interesting and active days in Krakow. I drank a lot of wine...
First wine at home. And it's lovely with a crazy Spanish price - 14€ for a 2016 Reserva. Strong aromas, strong taste, balance, structure, long finish. What else do we need?
I think - less sweet black fruits and more vivid red fruits.
Anyway... Smell - plum, black cherry, red cherry, minerals, milk chocolate, oak, leather and tobacco.
The taste is full of black and red fruits and even blueberries are here. But what is the most important acidity and tannins are in full, positive of course, play. Especially in a long spicy finish.
LAN name is an acronym of each of the provinces it straddles: Logroño (the capital of Rioja and the region's name until 1980), Álava and Navarra.
