Deze jaargang ontving 97 punten van James Suckling, 96 punten van Peñin en Tim Atkins en 95+ punten van Robert Parker: "This super classical cuvée showcases the wines from Haro, silky and elegant after long aging in oak and a good future in bottle. 2009 was a powerful vintage, ripe but with good balance..This is usually my favorite wine from the portfolio, where the balance between aging and youth reaches its highest point. It's developed but it keeps some fruit character, plenty of spices and balsamic aromas. The palate is polished but has some clout, with clean, focused flavors and a long, spicy and tasty finish. This represents good value for the quality it delivers. Because they didn't produce 890 in 2009, the grapes for the 890 were in this 904." Ook Jancis Robinson (17/20) is enthousiast: "Luminous ruby. Intense nose that recalls molten butter as well as rich, ripe, delectable animal aromas. Great sweetness but no obvious oakiness. Clearly some bottle age here and some delightful freshness. Savoury note on the finish."
