Lot #563. R. López de Heredia Rioja Tinto Gran Reserva Viña Bosconia 1991

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 WA.
"Proceeding to the Bosconia vineyard in El Boseque, the 1991 Vina Bosconia Gran Reserva spent ten years in barrel and has a lucid deep ruby core with a tawny rim. It is endowed with a sensual bouquet with red cherry, fresh fig, cola and a touch of thyme. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture, perfect acidity and lovely, natural peppery dark cherry fruit laced with balsamic and white pepper. This is simply divine." Wine Advocate #202, Aug 2012
Notes: 3cm, lightly chipped wax capsule, sign of slight past seepage.
