94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 1968 La Rioja Alta '904' Gran Reserva is a beautiful bottle of wine at its absolute peak of maturity. The pure, vibrant and complex bouquet delivers scents of cherries, raspberries, beautiful Rioja spice tones, nutskin, a beautiful base of soil and a fine, signature note of toasted coconut from the old American cooperage in which the wine was raised back in those days. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and tangy, with lovely mid-palate depth, still a touch of backend tannin and excellent complexity and focus on the very, very long, refined and velvety finish. A beautiful bottle of wine. 2013-2040. (May/Jun 2014)"
