This Gran Reserva from La Rioja Alta is only made with exceptionally good harvests. When the grapes have a high alcohol content, a good color and optimal aging, the wine will be made. When the wine is ready to use, everything about the wine is perfect. A cherry red color with an orange edge, the nose is very intense with the classic Rioja bouquet consisting of spices, balsamic, cured leather, cocoa, tobacco and vanilla. The wine has a large aftertaste, which will grow the longer the wine is in the bottle. The La Rioja Alta 890 is made only at exceptional harvests and comes from the oldest vineyards with very low yields. The 2010 is the successor to the 2005, 2004, 2001 and 1998 vintage.
