Description

LA RIOJA ALTA 890 GRAN RESERVA 1998

A perfect bottle of this Rioja Alta 890 Gran Reserva, with a pristine label, both front and back and a level well into the neck and right up-to the bottom of the capsule.

Professionally stored since purchase

Wine Searcher, none currently showing in the UK, but Europe between £200-£300 per bottle.


94 points Wine Advocate
The 1998 Gran Reserva 890 is more or less the same blend and vinification as the 1995 with just a little more alcohol (13%). It has impressive intensity on the nose with lifted dark cherry and briary notes. It has very fine delineation with aromas of licorice and orange rind. The palate is very well-balanced with fine tannins, crisp acidity and lively fresh citrus fresh fruit: small red cherries intermingling with orange zest, marmalade and cassis. It will need several years before it reaches its drinking plateau, but patently has great potential. Drink 2015-2025+ (NM) (8/2012)

K&L Notes
The Gran Reserva 890 is the longest-aged wine in the excellent La Rioja Alta stable, with an impressive 6 years of aging in barrel followed by extensive aging in bottle. The result is a wine that is dark fruited, savory and beginning to show tertiary notes, with an irresistible elegance and sense of balance. As far as grapes are concerned, there is 95% Tempranillo from the Rioja Alta village of Briñas (neighboring Haro), and a tiny portion of older vine Graciano and Mazuelo from Rodezno. This is classic Rioja for drinking now or aging another decade or longer.
