We check multiple rating platforms for every wine where accessible: Vivino, Wine-Searcher, Wine Spectator, Decanter, James Suckling, Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Only verified scores matching the offered vintage or NV are shown and included.

Ratings are shown from 3.7/5 only when at least one contributing source confirms 10 reviews for this exact vintage or NV. Counts from different platforms are not added together.

5 exact platform scores are weighted equally. Native 99- and 100-point scales are normalized from 50→1 to their own maximum→5 (99→5 or 100→5); display and filtering use one decimal. Aggregator and critic-platform scores can partly overlap.

Description

La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 2016 is a textbook example of traditionally matured Rioja. Tempranillo forms the base and is complemented by Graciano; the wine then receives exceptionally long aging in American oak and in bottle.

Red cherry, plum and dried fruit mingle with vanilla, coconut, cedar, tobacco, leather, cinnamon and balsamic notes. The palate is silky and layered, with fresh acidity, fully integrated tannins and a long, refined finish.

An iconic Gran Reserva that is already drinking beautifully and can continue to age for many years. Delicious with roast lamb, game, stews or mature Manchego; a short decant is enough.
