904 Gran Reserva 2015
A complex wine, open and with a very serious bouquet. Full of aromas of cedar, fine woods, cigar humidor, blond tobacco and fine, almost creamy, toasted hints, which give way to notes of freshly ground coffee and old leather, with a liquor background of macerated plums and ripe picota cherries.
A flavoured, elegant and direct wine, full of spicy notes which get stronger as you breathe, such as bay leaf powder, clove, black pepper, aromatic herbs and a fragrant touch of withered flowers.
The 904 Gran Reserva 2015 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.
904 Gran Reserva 2015
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… At this quality level this is a bargain.“
A strong, powerful and lively wine.
The 2015 Gran Reserva 904 is considered the best wine in the world in 2024 by the American publication Wine Enthusiast. The renowned magazine is one of the most influential on the international market and it just published its eagerly awaited annual list of Top 100 international wines.
It includes the most outstanding wines of the year and the wine by La Rioja Alta, S.A. is at the top.
The extraordinary result, is yet another confirmation of the tremendous worldwide success of this vintage of the Gran Reserva 904 but even more so taking into account that no less than 22,000 wines were tasted by the Wine Enthusiast tasting panel this year.
Of these, only 100 wines from 15 different countries managed to make this exclusive list, which includes wines from all styles.
904 Gran Reserva 2015
The wine magazine is very descriptive in its assessment of the 2005 Gran Reserva 904. “One look, one whiff, one taste and you’re swooning,” says editor Michael Schachner, who then goes on to label the wine as “the epitome of elegance.”
La Rioja Alta, S.A. reported in early November that there are no stocks of this wine in its cellars and that it will therefore not be available on the market this Holiday Season.
Despite this, the Haro House took the “hard decision” of not bringing ahead the release of the next vintage harvest because they have always been “totally committed to the highest quality, and so is our long-term business vision.”

Preserving unopened Iberian ham
If you have just brought home a piece of Iberian ham that you do not plan to open yet, it is important that you remove all the wrapping and hang it up, if possible in a cool, dry place, in order to preserve it.
In this way the ham can last for months without any problems.
Preserving Iberian ham once it has been opened
When we buy a leg of Iberian ham and we are going to start cutting it, it is important to save the layer and the first slices of fat that we will remove before cutting the ham itself.
Preserving whole cured meats
If you are one of those people who prefer to buy whole pieces of sausage such as salami, cured pork loin or chorizo, there are also ways in which we can help to keep these pieces in perfect condition.
The best way to preserve Iberian cured meats is to keep them hanging. The piece should be hung with the cut side down. To maintain its texture, cover the part that has already been cut with plastic film and secure it with a string or rubber band so that it is well sealed.
Preserving sliced sausages
The ideal way to preserve sliced cold meats with all their properties is to group all the slices together and stack them on top of each other, wrapping them in transparent film. They should also be spread out inside the envelope in which they were received. Once you have opened one of these sachets, you should consume it within a week.
