CRITIC REVIEWS
Sarah Jane Evans MW
A youngster, needing five years to begin to settle in. Aromas of tobacco, liquorice and vanilla. In the mouth, the fruit arrives plump, with a punch of acidity, the typical Rioja Alta freshness, and distinct oak ageing. The 10% Graciano blended with the Tempranillo gives 904 its typical dark plum character and a firm structure that ensures cellaring potential. A total of 120,000 bottles produced; 904 is not made every year.
Richard Hemming MW
Lots of vanilla and cream on the nose. This is the archetype of traditional Rioja! There is a touch of volatility on the nose, but plenty of juicy red fruit too. The tannins have faded into the background and the acid is soft too. Long and oak-scented on the finish, with perhaps a touch of meat juice too. Not quite a blow-away bottle, but certainly a grande dame. (RH)
