Mención Reserva 1997 (6 Bottles) Bodegas LAN, (Fuenmayor, La Rioja) D.O.: RIOJA "Bright cherry red color with a medium-high layer with violet rims. Intense aromas of primary type, fresh, quite harmonized, combined with those derived from aging in oak. Sensation of sweet and ripe tannins in the mouth. In the mouth, elegant, very balanced, harmonic, with a pleasant and long aftertaste." "LAN is a classic among large-volume wineries in Rioja, although few know the location of its vineyard, in the meander of the Ebro River, in Fuenmayor (Rioja Alta), from where you can see the Roman bridge of Mantible. A maximum selection of the raw material and the use of the most suitable oak woods are the bases that support the production of aged red wines with a marked personality, with Tempranillo as the leading variety in the production of its wines. LAN has the privilege of having a vineyard like Viña Lanciano, a 72-hectare estate surrounded by the Ebro River and whose location, soils, microclimate and age of the vineyard (35 to 60 years) make it a very special vineyard."
