2014 López de Heredia - Rioja Viña Bosconia Reserva (750ml)
One of the great traditionalist houses of Rioja, founded in 1877 by Rafael López de Heredia in Haro. Viña Bosconia is the more structured, full-bodied of the estate's two flagship single-vineyard Reservas, sourced from the south-facing El Bosque vineyard. A blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha, and 5% each Graciano and Mazuelo, fermented in old oak vats with native yeasts and aged a minimum of five years in neutral American oak. Garnet in color, with cassis, cola, and oak-driven aromatics; the palate is youthful and smooth, with well-integrated tannins, black fruit, and a lift of anisette on the finish — elegant and nuanced, still developing, with real energy and light. Old-school Rioja winemaking at a price that remains genuinely hard to believe.
