Opinión de los críticos
The 2005 Gran Reserva 904 is a superb blend of Tempranillo from the villages of Briñas, Labastida and Villalba with 10% Graciano from Briones and Rodezno. The grapes were destemmed and crushed and fermented in stainless steel for 18 days at 25 C. Malolactic fermentation was spontaneous and lasted 38 days. These wines are marked by a long aging in used American oak barrels following the most strict Riojan tradition; four years during which time the wine was manually racked eight times. This is usually my favorite wine from La Rioja Alta and 2005 is one of its best showings, going back to the quality of the vintages of the 1950s and 60s. The nose is very balsamic with notes of camphor, hints of mint, leather and hung game wrapped around a core of cherries in liqueur. Together it is balanced, subtle, truly elegant and classical. The palate is only medium-bodied but with great concentration of flavors that are very tasty, mineral, almost salty and framed by ultra-fine tannins and smashing balance. A great classic. This wine will be released in October 2015, a full ten years after the vintage. At this quality level this is a bargain. 150,000 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez.
One look, one whiff, one taste and you're swooning. This mature, tawny, ready-to-drink gran reserva with aromas of lemon peel, cedar and dried cherry is the epitome of elegance. A juicy, supple palate is highly approachable, while flavors of vanilla, orange peel, saffron and dried plum don't waver on the finish. Drink through 2027.
Si lo pruebas, seguro que dirás: "si no miro la etiqueta, nunca diría que este vino tiene casi 20 años ¡que frescura!". Sin duda un vino para darse un capricho y disfrutar en buena compañía
El 10 de julio de 1890, cinco viticultores vascos y riojanos alumbraron, en lo que se conoce como el Barrio de la Estación de Haro, la "Sociedad Vinícola de la Rioja Alta".

Delicioso. De mis favoritos españoles. Es de los buenos comprables.
Increible Rioja reserva, no hay palabras para describir tanta belleza en este vino.
Suave con cuerpo, elegante, equilibrado, sin exceso alcoholico. Para mí uno de los mejores Riojas que quedan, y quedan pocos tan buenos.
La máxima expresión del Gran Reserva clásico de Rioja. Espectacular!!
Excelente
Imprescindible en las grandes ocasiones.
