Popped and poured in a cocktail hour setting; no formal notes. That being said, the 2007 Bosconia is quite striking and grabbed my attention even in the midst of social responsibilities. This baby is slightly funky and loaded with Luxardo cherry fruit, olives, dill and damp earth. It starts a touch lean but seems to gain weight the longer that it’s open. So much personality. I don’t get to see Bosconia very often in our market…which is a shame because it’s a lovely, and decidedly different, expression of Rioja from LdH. Drinking well now and should continue to do so past 2027.

Tasted alongside the Tondonia, the 2007 Viña Bosconia has a near identical profile, and as such it’s very hard to differentiate between the two. After several hours’ air - this took far longer to open up than the Tondonia - it shows generous aromas of dried cherry, blackberry and a green herbal edge that wasn’t a feature of its sibling. Hard to pick a winner now between the two, but I feel in ten years the Bosconia will have the edge.

Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 80% Tempranillo with 20% Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo, deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of ripe strawberry and black cherry with currants, tobacco and cedar notes. Fine tannins, long finish, savory ending with tobacco and earthy character.

Took an hour to have the American oak blow off and for the tannins to integrate. Too rough for the bolognese it was paired with, but hours 2-3 with it decanted were excellent elegant fruit with depth and structure. Long life ahead, per usual.
