The red wine La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 890 Rioja DOCa, vintage 1998 from the winery La Rioja Alta has been rated in 2016 by Ulrich Sautter with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Graciano, Tempranillo from the region La Rioja in Spain.
Tempranillo, Graziano, Mazuelo blend. On the nose, raspberry, fig, date, blueberry, red currant and milk chocolate- surprisingly little tertiary in the flavors apart from a touch of coffee. Wiry acidity and a mild-toned tannin that nevertheless builds astringency on the palate. There's a playful, mineral elegance that makes for an ethereal and almost weightless mouthfeel despite clear background extracted depth.
