"Deep ruby with a garnet rim. Aromas of succulent black fruit from fresh to preserved and suggestions of caramel and toffee, with hints of toast, cocoa, distinctive tobacco, and coffee. In the background, some earthy and mineral nuances. Fruit and freshness define the palate, complemented with exotic touches of spices, violets, some vegetal nuances, some toasted notes, and deep mineral undertones. Huge, powerful and savory, yet it shows a distinctive elegance. A linear, steely acidity, some ripe tannins and very long finish." —winemaker
"Bright cherry red color with a deep intensity. Predominant notes of liquorized red fruit, and spiced hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. A multitude of textures and flavors burst in the mouth. Balsamic notes as well as mineral nuances characteristic of the soil of the “Viña Lanciano”. Silky and full- bodied in the mouth with an intense and long enjoyable finish." —winemaker
Blend: 89% Tempranillo 11% Graciano
Wine Anthology Team Review-As fine a bottle of Rioja as you could possibly buy. Full bodied and dense, this wine delivers quite a punch of flavors! Berry flavors abound mix with cola, vanilla and even tangerine blend together to make this outstanding red that will knock your socks off! You could age this one for another 10 years easily. Have this with stewed rabbit or rack of Lamb. Enjoy!
