Bodegas Lan Rioja Gran Reserva 2015, Spain

Deep burgundy in color with a short reddish rim.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, sweet cherries, plums, espresso, sweet cedar, vanilla, spices, cola, tobacco leaf, earth, chocolates, peppercorn and herbs.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and pomegranates.

This is a very tasty Tempranillo from Spain. Still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly.

A blend of Tempranillo and Graciano. Aged for 24 months in American and French oak barrels.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$30.
