En kasse med 3 flasker af en af de mest sjældne Gran Reservas i Spanien. Ekstrem allokering, hvert år ved udgivelsen en kamp om nogle få flasker. Men nu er det "all in"! 3 af de sjældne vine i én kasse. Store årgange: 1995 - 1998 - 2001 Hvilken strålende vin! Druerne kommer fra vinmarkerne Brinas, Labastida og Villalba. Vinen modnede i 6 år på amerikanske egetræsfade. De tog sig god tid og arbejdede omhyggeligt. Fantastisk farve: rød, klar og med lette nuancer af jod. Sensationel næse. Jeg finder ristet brød, læder og karamel. Dertil kommer blommer og stuvet frugt. Vil det første indtryk blive bekræftet? Vinen er kraftfuld og blød i munden. De komplekse smagsnuancer er næsten ubeskrivelige. Det er simpelthen sjovt at have Gran Reserva i glasset og bogstaveligt talt mærke den passion, der drev vinmageren til at skabe dette pragteksemplar. Mere af det. 97-98/100

Parker om: Sammlerbox: Gran Reserva 890 Jahrgangs-Trilogie

Parker zu 1995: Tasted twice, the 1995 Gran Reserva 890 is a blend of 95% Tempranillo (from Brinas, Labastida and Villaba), 3% Graciano and 1% Mazuelo, all aged in American oak for six years and delivering a headache-avoiding 12.7% alcohol. It has a heavenly bouquet that soars from the glass with soy, marmalade, a touch of Seville orange marmalade and cloves, all with superb delineation. The palate is very well-balanced with crisp, finely-tuned tannins that lend it wonderful focus. One can find vivacious flavors of strawberry, orange sorbet and citrus lemon while the finish is incredibly youthful and displays a level of tension that Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of. Outstanding traditional Rioja pulled out from the top drawer. Why? Because it whisks the drinker from wherever they are to, where the wine was born. 96/100Parker zu 2001: 2001 is a great vintage for all the wines from La Rioja Alta but the long-awaited 2001 Gran Reserva 890 is otherworldly. 2001 was a slow maturing vintage which produced smaller grapes especially in the old vineyards on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria in the villages of Brinas, Labastida and Villalba where the vineyards that make it into this wine are located. The final blend contains a majority of Tempranillo with 3% Graciano and 2% Mazuelo. The wine ferments with the natural yeasts attached to the grapes in stainless steel vats and is aged for six years in used American oak barrels with 12 manual rackings. A selection of the best barrels were blended together and bottled unfiltered in March 2008. Only 15,000 bottles were produced. It shows (even) younger and more concentrated than the 2004 904, a darker shade of red and a somehow backward and reticent nose (relatively speaking) of forest floor, cold bonfire, antique shop, truffles, game, sandalwood, nutmeg and clove. The fruit is also a little darker and the palate more austere, but still showing vibrant and supple, with clean flavors and a great finish. This is my favorite modern time 890. Bravo! 95/100
