Tasting notes
Medium red. Seductively perfumed nose shows suave, oak-spiced strawberry and cherry. Spicy red fruit flavors are sweetened by vanilla and mocha. Turned firmer with air and picked up deeper cherry and cassis notes. Finishes round, supple and sweet, with a repeating mocha impression.

100% Tempranillo that spent 14 months in a combination of French and American oak, the soft 2004 Lanzaga is not as appealing as the L Z cuvee. I enjoyed its zesty, earthy, black cherry, cedar, and herb characteristics, but there was not much of a finish.
