La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 Tinto

Description

This 904 from La Rioja Alta is a wine that makes you wonder, “When will I ever fully understand what this wine has to offer?” The colour – a rich cherry red – delivers on the promise. The nose is a journey: cooked plum compote, ripe raspberries, and then a surprising burst of orange peel that awakens the palate. Cedar and mint chocolate add a touch of refinement, but the real surprise is the persistence – a long finish with citrus and balsamic notes – confirming that this Tempranillo and Graciano-driven wine is one best enjoyed with a hearty beef dish, perhaps a perfectly grilled ribeye.
