LAN Rioja Reserva DOCa 2019

DESCRIPTION A Contemporary Expression of Classic Rioja Rioja Reserva occupies a special place in Spanish wine, where patient ageing transforms vibrant fruit into something deeper, silkier and more complex. LAN Rioja Reserva DOCa 2019 brings a contemporary precision to that timeless style, combining the generous character of Tempranillo with polished structure, beautifully integrated oak and the elegance that defines fine Rioja. Approachable enough to enjoy now yet layered enough to reward every sip, it captures the enduring appeal of Reserva through a distinctly modern lens. Crafted from 92% Tempranillo, 4% Mazuelo and 4% Garnacha, the wine draws on selected vineyards in Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, where 20- to 30-year-old vines grow in chalky clay soils. Tempranillo provides the wine's expressive fruit and structure, while Mazuelo and Garnacha contribute subtle layers of freshness and complexity. Careful maturation then brings fruit, spice and oak into harmony, creating a Reserva that respects Rioja's great ageing tradition without allowing that tradition to overshadow the character of the wine. Tasting Notes Deep cherry red with elegant garnet highlights, the bouquet unfolds with ripe black fruit and wild hedgerow berries, complemented by inviting notes of vanilla and warm spice. The palate is silky and immediately approachable, developing impressive breadth and depth as the wine opens in the glass. Refined tannins and balanced freshness carry the dark fruit and savoury complexity through a long, polished finish, leaving an impression of harmony, maturity and understated elegance.

REVIEW Rated 91, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, May 31, 2025 “Ripe black cherry and black plum fruit flavors are laced with lavish hints of vanilla, tar and cedar in this dark, deep red, animated by mandarin orange peel acidity. The lingering finish, trimmed by fine, taut tannins, offers medicinal herb and mineral details. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. Drink now through 2035.” PRESS REVIEW Rated 91, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, May 31, 2025 “Ripe black cherry and black plum fruit flavors are laced with lavish hints of vanilla, tar and cedar in this dark, deep red, animated by mandarin orange peel acidity.
