This is one of Spain’s great classic reds, already beautifully expressive but still carrying the freshness and structure to go on for years. Expect wild red berries, black cherry, blueberry, dried strawberry, tobacco leaf, cedar, tea, vanilla, cinnamon, mocha and a cool balsamic lift.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the palate, it is refined, silky and wonderfully composed, with polished tannins, bright acidity and a long, savoury finish. The magnum format gives the wine even more poise, slowing its evolution and preserving that graceful tension between mature complexity and youthful energy. This is a bottle for proper occasions, long dinners and the sort of table where people remember what was poured.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor when\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bottle needs to feel like an event before the cork is even pulled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoast lamb, beef Wellington, suckling pig, duck, grilled mushrooms, aged Manchego, slow-cooked pork, game birds, mushroom rice or dark chocolate desserts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLa Rioja Alta is one of Rioja’s true grand houses, founded in Haro in 1890 and revered for its patient, traditional approach to long-aged Tempranillo. Gran Reserva 904 is one of its defining wines, a benchmark for elegance, American oak polish, silky texture and extraordinary longevity. In magnum, the 2016 vintage feels especially complete: generous, complex, fresh and quietly majestic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55840074465665,"sku":null,"price":172.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2016GranReserva904_LaRiojaAltaMagnum.png?v=1782385165","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2016-gran-reserva-904-la-rioja-alta-magnum","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
