The 2007 D-12 is also 100% Tempranillo that spent 10 months in new American oak (65%) and French oak (35%). Purple in color, considerably deeper than the Crianza and made in a more contemporary style, it offers up notions of toasty oak, balsamic, incense, violets, and assorted black fruits. Ripe on the palate with a solid core of fruit, it will evolve for 1-2 years and drink well through 2018+.
Bodegas Lan is a reliable source for both traditional and modern styled Rioja.
