Pioneers of Rioja (6 bottles)

Aged for 16 months in Tronçais oak barrels and matured for an additional 9 months in concrete tanks. Aged in bottle for 12 months.

Very bright, ripe cherry red with a reddish rim. Aromas of ripe red fruit with floral hints of violets, blended with notes of oak, such as spice, cinnamon and a touch of minerality. Expressive and intense, very fruity and balsamic on the aftertaste, with a long-lasting, persistent finish.

Pairing: Stews, spicy meat and fish dishes, meat carpaccios, smoked dishes and cured cheeses.

2017 Bodegas LAN Gran Reserva – 95 points GG Gourmets
Rioja, Spain – 96% Tempranillo, 4% Mazuelo – 14.0% ABV

22 months’ ageing in hybrid oak barrels (American oak staves and French oak heads) and 22 months’ refining in bottle.

Deep garnet-red with a ruby rim. Intense, with notes of ripe black fruit, figs and touches of dried fruit, mixed with intense spiced and smoky notes. Harmoniously well-balanced, with polished
tannins that lead to a long finish marked by the aromas of black fruit and spices.

Pairing: Grilled meat and fish dishes, stews and game. Fantastic to accompany all kinds of cheeses.

2021 Bodegas LAN D-12 – 92 points James Suckling
Rioja, Spain – 100% Tempranillo – 13.5% ABV

12 months in new American oak barrels from the Applachians (70%) and in new French oak barrels from forests in central France (30%).

Bright cherry red. Ripe, liqueur-like red fruit stands out, alongside creamy notes, toffee, vanilla, cinnamon and cocoa. Great harmony between the fruit and toasted notes, giving at first a sensation of sweetness.

Pairing: Smoked, red and grilled meats, spicy dishes and cured cheeses..
