A blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo and 5% Graciano, the 2010 Lanciano Reserva is sourced from Lanciano estate along the River Ebro, northeast of Fuenmayor. It has a combination of herbal, balsamic and ripe aromas with a medium to full-bodied palate and plenty of influence from the oak, but there is better integration of tannins and acidity, perhaps the natural balance of the vintage. 50,000 bottles.

This chewy red shows kirsch, chocolate and cola notes, with balsamic acidity and grippy tannins. Has concentration, but remains a bit clumsy. Drink now through 2020. 5,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
