We just tasted this, and absolutely loved it. So did the Spectator, placing it in their Top 100 for 2006. This is a big wine that should satisfy wine lovers on both sides of the pond with its convergence of old and new world styles.
2003 Bodegas LAN Rioja Edición Limitada

Score: 94
Special Designation: Highly Recommended
Issue: Sep 30, 2006
Top 100 Wines – 2006
Rank: #56
"Powerful yet graceful, this rich, ripe red delivers blackberry and currant fruit framed by coffee and toasty oak notes. Though thick on the palate, it remains fresh and focused, and the finish is clean and sweet, with floral and mineral grace notes. Drink now through 2012. 1,500 cases made."
