2020 Bodegas Lanzaga Rioja

Wine Advocate
Review Date: 02/2024The expressive and open 2020 Lanzaga comes from a rainy and stormy vintage (from the eighth of May until the end of August) and an early harvest, as they started the 21st of September. It's a riper year than 2019, and the wine has 14.5% alcohol. It's juicy and has some tannins that are going to require some more time in bottle and/or powerful food. 34,434 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022. (LG)

A refined and meticulously crafted Rioja, the 2020 Lanzaga is a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha sourced from Lanciego in Rioja Alavesa. Aged for 14 months in French foudres, it presents a deep purple hue. The aromas intertwine violet and cherry notes with hints of licorice, bay leaf and raspberry, underscored by a backdrop of wild herbs. On the palate, it is dry, juicy and moderately chalky, leaving behind a lingering impression of vibrant fruitiness. This Rioja red possesses crystalline clarity. (JH)

A forward and expressive Lanzaga with lots of fruit. Cherries, berries, spices and hints of dried herbs. Medium to full body with nicely firm tannins that give it a tight structure. Really well-balanced and fresh. From organically grown grapes. (ZS)
