La Rioja Alta, Gran Reserva 904 2000

“Sexy, oak-spiced aromas of raspberry, cherry compote and pipe tobacco. Smoky, sweet and penetrating, offering intense red fruit flavors that take a darker turn to cherry-cola with air. Closes sweet and long, with resonating spiciness, supple tannins and a whiplash of vanillin oak.”- Vinous

outstanding delicate notes of ripe plums, raisins and candied fruits against a cinnamon, clove and chocolate mint background. Well-structured and well-balanced, with silky tannins, polished by long ageing in barrels and in the bottle.
