La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904
Country: Spain, Rioja
La Rioja Alta is widely recognised to be one of the finest wineries in the region and credited with producing the traditional oak-aged style of Rioja before anyone else. Founded in 1890 by five families, the descendants are still important shareholders to this day, with the company President, Guillermo de Aranzabal, being the fifth generation to work in the business. The Estate’s most celebrated Gran Reserva is the 890, which is named after the founding date of the winery, and the 904 marks the date when the Ardanza winery was merged with La Rioja Alta in 19047.
Tasting Notes: Medium-high depth, cherry–red with a garnet rim. Very intense in aromas. Complex, with notes of plums and ripe grapes, jam of blackberries and red raspberries that give way to spicy and balsamic notes of tobacco leaves, cedar, liquorice, vanilla, chocolate and ground coffee. Good entry. Fresh and balanced in the mouth, with polished, silky tannins and a gentle, delicate finish. Very long aftertaste, with balsamic notes of coffee and toasted caramel, candied fruits and liquorice dominating these pleasant sensations.
