La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 890 2004
75 cl
We think this vintage is excellent, and the 2017 Penin Guide agrees - it was voted as the best Rioja! 95% Tempranillo, supported by some Graciano & Mazuelo which are aged for 6 years in 4 year old American oak casks followed by a futher 6 years in bottle. Absolutely delicious.
