2005 Gran Reserva 890, La Rioja Alta, Rioja
An expressive, complex nose of dried blueberries, raspberries, grated coconut and herbs jumps from the glass. The palate is beautifully textured - soft and silky, with a hint of toasted almonds and fresh leather. There's wonderful length and precision on the finish, with notes of freshly cut mint and chalky minerality. A complete effort, this is world-class.

Made with grapes from some of the winery’s oldest parcels in Brinas, Labastida and Villalba, this really is one of the best 890s ever. Blending Tempranillo with 3% Graciano and 2% Mazuelo, it combines the grace and elegance of a great Musigny with the sweetness, focus and balance of a classic Rioja, Scented, complex and very long.
