Lopez de Heredia Vina Reserva Bosconia 2012

Critical Acclaim: 95 pts James Suckling; 93 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: This wine has evolved perfectly showing a deep ruby colour with shades of orange. Its nose is persistent, full bodied and showing a lot of mature fruit, being dominated by the Tempranillo grape. Its taste is round, smooth, fresh, full of body and persistent.

"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. Drink now or in the next 10-15 years."- 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. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

About the Winery: For 148 years, four generations of the López de Heredia family have devoted themselves to producing exceptional and unique wines. Vineyard care, a scrupulous selection of grapes, ageing in oak barrels in the heart of deep underground galleries, and the later ageing in bottles, all contribute to making these illustrious wines with their exceptional bouquet.

Varietal: 80% Tempranilllo, 15% Grenache and 5% Mazuelo and Graciano.
