This is a cracking value Rioja from a great producer, with the D-12 being a nod to the tradition of Rioja winemakers keeping the best wines to themselves.  At Bodegas Lan, this was always the wine in the D-12 tank and, each harvest, the most promising Tempranillo parcel is identified for the D-12.  Aged in new American and French oak barrels, the wine boasts an impressive array of strawberry, cranberry, redcurrant and prune along with vanilla, toffee, cocoa and cinnamon.  It envelops you with its velvety tannins and juicy acidity, leading to a toasty finish.  Well balanced, long and delicious, it's a cracker at this price point.
