La Rioja Alta 890 Gran Reserva 75cl 2010

Tempranillo

La Rioja Alta 890 Gran Reserva: een complexe, klassieke Rioja.

Deze topwijn van La Rioja Alta heeft 6 jaar gerijpt op Amerikaans eikenhout. 
Het is een complexe, klassieke Rioja. Deze 904 Gran Reserva heeft aroma's van rijp rood fruit, amandelen, kruiden en tabak, en heeft prachtige tannines, mooie verweven zuren en een lange, intense afdronk.
Op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2031 nog verder ontwikkelen.
De optimale serveertemperatuur is 16°C. 

The Wine Advocate:

"I tasted the 2005 Gran Reserva 890 again, and I liked it better this time than in my previous review, even if I normally like the Gran Reserva 904 better than this bottling, as I find it better balanced. I tend to feel less energy in this wine, as it spends a very long time in barrel, six years in this case. 2005 was an excellent vintage, and they implemented some improvements in the harvest, introducing 350-kilo boxes and refrigerated transport to the winery, which they think provides better grapes and potentially better quality of the wines. The palate is medium-bodied, the tannins have mostly melted, and it has lively acidity that lift the wine up. This is a very classical and polished Rioja."
