2013 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia 'Vina Bosconia' Reserva

Spain | Rioja Red Blend

$ 38.99 $ 46.00

"Savory aromas of subtle earthy berries, oranges, iron and hints of walnut, tobacco and mushrooms. Fine tannins with high acidity on the palate with juicy, savory berries and a long, citrusy finish. A hint of tertiary caramel character at the end, making this very complex and complete."

-93 Points, James Suckling

"The 2012 Viña Bosconia Reserva is perhaps a little too young (María José López de Heredia likes more polished wines, and for her this wine was too tough), with some tannins and the chalky texture from the limestone soils. This blend of Tempranillo with 15% Garnacho and 5% between Graciano and Mazuelo matured in used American oak barrels for five years."

-93 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
