Bodega Lanzaga 2020 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Lanzaga is expressive and complex on the nose with flowers, berries, cured meat, spices and minerals. Fresh and elegant on the palate with refined tannins. The expressive and open 2020 Lanzaga comes from a rainy and stormy vintage (from the eighth of May until the end of August) and an early harvest, as they started the 21st of September. It's a riper year than 2019, and the wine has 14.5% alcohol. It's juicy and has some tannins that are going to require some more time in bottle and/or powerful food. A refined and meticulously crafted Rioja, the 2020 Lanzaga is a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha sourced from Lanciego in Rioja Alavesa. Aged for 14 months in French foudres, it presents a deep purple hue. The aromas intertwine violet and cherry notes with hints of licorice, bay leaf and raspberry, underscored by a backdrop of wild herbs. On the palate, it is dry, juicy and moderately chalky, leaving behind a lingering impression of vibrant fruitiness. This Rioja red possesses crystalline clarity. A forward and expressive Lanzaga with lots of fruit. Cherries, berries, spices and hints of dried herbs. Medium to full body with nicely firm tannins that give it a tight structure. Really well-balanced and fresh. From organically grown grapes.
