Bought from the private cellar of a Riojan retired wine distributor in June 2016. Stored in a private cellar up to today. Exceptional storage conditions. Fully mature and therefore drinking well now, or cellar for the next 20-25 years years. 97/100 Robert Parker: "The 1964 Gran Reserva 904 is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Graciano and 10% Viura that was raised for one year in an 18,000-liter vat and then six year in old barrels with nine rackings. It has a brick core with a tawny rim. The nose is very fragrant and sensual with crushed flowers, small dark cherry, minerals and a mature Musigny-like aroma. It is very pure and beautifully defined. It is less coarse than the ‘73 Gran Reserva 890 tasted alongside, the tannins finer and more supple, with wonderful cohesion and harmony, plus a silky smooth texture that glides across the palate. It does taste like a great old Burgundy, but the harmony, freshness and complexity is one of the finest I have encountered on any Spanish wine. This is a wine made of dreams". 98/100 James Suckling: "The legend lives. Amazing dried berry, figs and orange peel. Full body, dense and silky with a fabulous depth and length. The polish and silk are breathtaking. This is a legendary wine that I have been lucky enough to taste throughout my life and it never disappoints". Vintage 1964 was officially rated "Excellent" by the Regulatory Board of Rioja. This vintage was unanimously considered the best vintage of the 20th century. Vinified and matured in wooden vat, from the founding time of the winery (1890), and then aged in cask for 7 to 8 years. Racked 12 times, once every 6 months, using the traditional cask-to-cask Riojan method. *** All international parcels are shipped with the highest standards of quality: through the premium “UPS International Express”, the fastest service against signature provided by the courier.
