LCBO - LAN Gran Reserva 2017
Spain, Rioja
Description
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.
REVIEW
Rated 94, Natalie Maclean, March 1, 2025
"From Spain's renowned Rioja region, Lan Gran Reserva 2017 is a refined, full-bodied blend of Old Vines Tempranillo (97%) and Mazuelo (3%). Aromas of delicate pink flowers, ripe plum, and dried Mediterranean herbs lead to a lively palate layered with baking spices and a savoury touch of black olives on the finish. The tannins are smooth and well-rounded, making it a pleasure to enjoy now, though it will age gracefully through 2030. Pair with grilled chorizo or Manchego cheese."
