This fantastic Rioja is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 12% Graciano and 8% Manzuelo that was hand-harvested from the Vina Lanciano estate. The wine was first aged for seven months in French oak and further aged for another six months in Russian oak. Following a one hour decant, this wine opens with aromatics of black olive, black cherries, crushed mint and coffee. There are deep flavors of black cherry, Marcona almond, boysenberry preserves and hints of pipe tobacco. Tannic and deep, this will age beautifully. (Best 2016-2030) - December, 2016 (OB)
