Description

Probably the greatest vintage in Spain and this one the finest Rioja, read any reviews and critics and this is a highly highly rated example of this wine and any Spanish Rioja. I took a few of my Magnums out from "In Bond" storage for testing and progress, I was honestly blown away by how good this is.

This bottle has been resting In Bond at the professional cellars since purchased, a perfect example of the wine, storage, fill, condition etc. I have already opened a couple and they have been perfect.

If here, I am sure you already know, this is a Gran Reserva, so 4 years in American oak, bottled in July 2015 and released June 2019. Its tempranillo (90%) and graciano (10%), probably still a bit young for some critics, but to me it’s amazing, the smell was hypnotic, full of herbs and spices and the taste for me has everything punching above its weight, distinct but subtle with vanilla and oak, spice.
The 904 is not made every year, but this is certainly of the greatest released, which has still got lots to improve on. If you have tried 904 before this is a big step up! If you have some tucked away, try this for yourself, know what is coming or how much more to top up!

A 98 was scored by James Suckling back in 2019 (Imagine it now!??)

Fresh blueberries and brambleberries take center stage, which is striking for a wine of this age. There are also lots of roasted herbs, such as sage, not to mention floral elements, including lavender and dried violets. Then come cedar, sandalwood and tar. The tannins are incredibly round and soft, without the slightest hint of anything dry. This is among the most elegant of Riojas, where the acidity is wonderfully pronounced and cuts right through any touch of dried fruit. Long and powerful, yet subtle on the finish. Drink now, or hold for a very long time. James Suckling Score 98 Review Date: 26th July 2019
