Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano

Ruby with complex fruit aromas, spice and oak. Blend of 90% Tempranillo & 10% Graciano, aged 48 months on American oak, 20% new. On the palate flavors of dark berry fruits with spice, oak and smoky earthy notes, slight vanilla nuances on ripe full soft silky tannins. Long finish, nice mouthfeel, ending with fruit, oak, cigar box spice and clean mineral earthy tones, a joy to Sip this Fine Wine!! Tasting great, has more aging potential!

90% Tempranillo; 10% Graciano. Red fruited perfume, earthy with medium plus intensity. Palate at 21 years is developed, balanced and soft with fully integrated tannins. Medium weight with declining strength to its inner core. Not near as good on the 2nd night. This aged overnight and finishes a little sour. I was going to give it 94 points but will now give 90 points.

Young but polished and elegant. Red and black berries, tobacco leaf, soil and mushroom, American oak on the finish. This should integrate and deepen with age

Good plummy fruit. A slightly weird acetone thing on the nose. Contained

Dark plum with a hint of sweet butterscotch at the edges. Lovely purity

Quite dense and intense. A touch of sweet on the edge of inky fruit. Very good

Dark and sweet and delicious. Gnarly deep fruit but a lifted clarity and deliciousness. Really good

Gorgeous and soft and pretty. Orange rind, pluming, a sweetness. Pale in color and pure and light. Delicious

Vintage 2007 | Masterpiece. Mesmerizing smell, complex: a flower garden, scottish pipe tobacco, cinnamon, rinse applesyrup. Refinement and elegance. 😍
