Description
Telmo Rodríguez left his family estate in Rioja in the early 1990s to make his name in the rest of Spain. When he returned to Rioja to start Bodega Lanzaga with his friend Pablo Eguzkia in 1998, he brought with him a broad experience of the outside world, not only in Spain but also in Burgundy, Bordeaux (where he studied) and the Rhône.
Intensely dark, this is a rich and complex Rioja with subtle floral notes, sweet oak spices, and a well-defined dark forest fruit core. The elegance is matched by a very structured and defined palate, with powerful tannins requiring more time in the bottle. This is the perfect wine to pair with rich dishes.
