R. López de Heredia
Viña Bosconia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend
La Rioja, Spain
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black currants, plums, sour cherries, light oak, spices, peppercorn, dark coffee, tobacco leaf, earth, wet leaves and herbs.
Short finish with round tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This 13 year old is showing nice complexity now. Tasty and a good food wine.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
This 2010 vintage was probably the best vintage in Rioja in the last 20 years. So nice to try these kind of wines.
Robert Parker 94 points.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 80% Tempranillo and 15% Garnacha with Graciano and Mazuelo. Aged for 5 years in used American oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$40.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. What a beautiful color.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing cherries, raspberries, black plums, currants, oak, light vanilla, spices, cola, chocolates, earth, wet leaves, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee, rust, blood and herbs.
Dry on the palate with a nice mouthfeel. Shows nice complexity at this point.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and pomegranates.
This 13 year old is starting to drink very nicely now, and will continue to age in the next 7 years.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show itself. Easy drinking once it opens up. Elegant with good structure.
