The 2004 Viña Bosconia Gran Reserva is very open, expressive and aromatic right away—as soon as it was poured into the glass—while the Tondonia took time to open up. This has a very elegant nose, and despite having less Garnacha than the Tondonia, it has a more Garnacha nose, a little heady with notes of cherries in liqueur and iodine (think Rayas). It has an elegant texture, very fine tannins and pungent flavors, and it's persistent and powerful while keeping balance and freshness. The Bosconia Vineyard is a cooler vineyard that delivers fresher wines; the grapes were picked quite late, from the 20th of October, later than the ones from the Tondonia vineyard. Only 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2019. Some of these vintages have had a much longer élevage, though not necessarily all in barrel, as the wines also spent time in the ancient oak vats.
A well-aged wine that shows the richness of Bosconia, with anise, savory plums, berries, mussel shells, cream, iron, white pepper and orange peel. Bright acidity with a full body and fine, sharp, minerally tannins. Long, juicy and savory. Drinkable now, but can keep holding.
Often tasted last in a line up of López de Heredia reds because it comes from a slightly warmer site, this is a superb, mature cuvée of Tempranillo with 20% Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo that shows the balance and complexity of a great Rioja vintage. Savoury, mature and well structured with notes of earth, green herbs and tobacco and caressing red fruit sweetness. 2021-30
Seleção e amor, duas palavras que se tornaram a 'bíblia' dos vinhos que Rafael López de Heredia decidiu elaborar, depois de ser aconselhado por elaboradores de Médoc e 'négociants' franceses que viviam em Haro.
