Natalie's Score: 94/100

From Spain's renowned Rioja region, Lan Gran Reserva 2017 is a refined, full-bodied blend of Old Vines Tempranillo (97%) and Mazuelo (3%). Aromas of delicate pink flowers, ripe plum, and dried Mediterranean herbs lead to a lively palate layered with baking spices and a savoury touch of black olives on the finish. The tannins are smooth and well-rounded, making it a pleasure to enjoy now, though it will age gracefully through 2030. Pair with grilled chorizo or Manchego cheese.

Food pairings: herbed steaks, Portobello mushroom, chilli, soup, lamb chops.
