Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With the 2012 L.Z. they try to reproduce the Rioja wines from the 1920s, where the grapes were fermented and aged in concrete, without any make-up, showing very clean and fruity, with notes of red licorice and flowers and a fresh, polished palate creating a wine of pleasure, pure and honest. A straightforward, humble wine, true to its origins that is a real pleasure to drink.

Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
