Wine Expert Note:

In the glass, Lan D-12 Rioja presents an alluring deep ruby color. The nose is a rich tapestry of red and black fruits like cherries and blackberries, woven together with notes of tobacco, vanilla, and a touch of smoky leather. The palate does not disappoint, offering a well-balanced blend of ripe fruit, earthy notes, and spices like cinnamon and clove. The tannins are well-integrated, lending structure and depth to the wine without overwhelming its nuanced flavors. The finish is long and complex, leaving a lingering impression of fruit, spice, and subtle oak. Lan D-12 is a harmonious Rioja that pays homage to its storied region while exhibiting contemporary finesse.
