Viña Bosconia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend
Nimble and nuanced. Settles down quickly in the glass. Vanilla, dry earth, cinnamon and toasted dark berries. A treat.

Aug 8th, 2020This bottle was a pop and pour and it certainly didn't last very long in the line-up. From my one and only glass: milk chocolate covered cherries, baking spices, leather, earth, and mushrooms. Honestly, I wish I could have spent a couple of hours with it because there seemed to much more to unpack. I just love the wines from LdH.

Feb 2nd, 2017Cigar, orange peel, dried rose, tea and baking spice. Bright acidity and lively with aromas and flavors that are true to type. Interesting and quaffable.

Jan 12th, 2017Loaded with cherry cola, vanilla and earthiness. The strong earthiness subsides after about a hour in the decanter.

Jun 5th, 2016The best of a Bosconia for me, nicely open and so easy to keep sniffing and sipping. I always end up finding this needs a little more time open to drink pleasurable, in its proper state. Very good normally but this day it was great!

Feb 22nd, 2016Paella is calling for some old school Rioja. Super fresh with a savory/soy undertone.

Jan 1st, 2016Most body and tannin,higher altitude that comes through in a more structured palate. Bosco = forest, bottled in the 5th year and is only a Reserva, though a Gran Reserva has been made a few times.
30-40k production
Cinnamon, Damson, red fruits, cherry with a brilliant brightness. Excellent acidity and firm, dry tannins that need a little more time in bottle to mellow. Though enjoyable now so if you decide to drink, decant for at least an hour.
