Good fruit, good acidity, clear pomegranate (including the white rind!). Solid 90! I should downgrade my last 90 this is better. Good deal! 😀😀 — 17 hours ago

Viña Bosconia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2011

9.2

It’s been a few years since I last checked in to the 2011 vintage of LdH Viña Bosconia and, to my palate, time has been kind. This is far more balanced and open than my previous experience. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2011 pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe cherry, dill, toasted coconut, leather, tobacco, dried earth and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Delicious. Drink now through 2036. — a month ago
