2007 Gran Reserva 904, La Rioja Alta, Rioja, Spain

Deep cherry in colour, the nose rings home traditional Rioja with aromas of spiced strawberry, clove and vanillin, with an undercoat of damson fruit. Silkily textured, the classic core of vanilla and dark berried fruit flavours are brought through with great finesse and juiciness across the palate. A complementing meaty character with notes of Asian spice is evident toward the finish which is long and supple. Finely structured with marvellous precision and vibrancy throughout, this is a real delight to taste, and dangerously drinkable now! The 2007 904 Gran Reserva is another superb addition to the string of recent vintages which will bring immense drinking enjoyment over the years to follow, recommended from 2018 – 2030+.
