Lan Rioja Crianza 2005 - $10



100% Tempranillo. 12 month in French and American oak.

David: Light crimson in color. Nose is red currants, cherry, berries with wood characteristics such as sweet vanilla, cedar and a hint of cinnamon as well as violets. Also some earthy undertones, perhaps black tea or asphalt. Medium bodied, with good acidity throughout and some sourness giving it plenty of structure even with little or no tannins. Copious fruit on the palate. Mild spiciness. Long pleasant finish. A very tasty wine and a great value.
Score 4.2/5
