La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 2007 (Magnum 1.5L)  - First Bottle

Reviews

97 James Suckling -
Medium-depth, cherry-red; clean and bright. Very intense to the nose, with a pleasant balsamic bouquet. Almonds, mint chocolate, vanilla and roasted coffee lead to notes of jammy fruit. Good, balanced structure in the mouth, with a pleasant acidity and very sweet, round tannins which provide a long, complex finish. Excellent to enjoy now, although it will continue rounding off its fine bouquet in the bottle over time.
95 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
If Vina Ardanza seems to be going fast, the Gran Reserva 904 is even faster and we`re now on the 2007 Gran Reserva 904. This wants to be the classic Gran Reserva--polished, silky and elegant, with aging potential. It is a blend of Tempranillo with 10% Mazuelo aged for four years in well-seasoned American oak barrels, with eight manual rackings. I found that the freshness of the vintage and its relatively young age gave the wine a youngish character that I loved, combining developed notes of meat, spices, leather and balsam with almost cherry-like aromas. The palate feels balanced and elegant, with fine-grained and fully resolved tannins and great acidity. This vintage of 904 surprised me! 150,000 bottles produced. -- Luis Gutierrez in Issue #226, August 2016
95 Decanter -
Ultra rich concentrated aromas of cinder, toffee, sweet vanilla oak, touch of tar and thick plum notes. Core of piquant red fruit with long nutty finish.
