La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 2015 displays a vivid ruby hue with an expansive bouquet of red and blue fruit preserves, tobacco, potpourri and botanical herbs, complemented by vanilla and smoky mineral undertones. On the palate, this wine reveals sappy, penetrating character with gentle chewiness, delivering vibrant black raspberry, bitter cherry and rose pastille flavours accented by mineral and spice notes. The wine deepens and sweetens toward the finish, culminating in an impressively long, youthfully tannic conclusion with lingering notes of candied blue fruits and spicecake. A wine of sharp focus and elegant floral lift that demonstrates the complexity and ageing potential characteristic of this prestigious Gran Reserva.
