Viña Bosconia Tinto Reserva 2008
Viña Bosconia nace en la finca El Bosque y su nombre procede de un vino que el bisabuelo de los López de Heredia elaboraba al estilo de los franceses de la Borgoña y al que denominó Rioja Cepa Borgoña. Los vinos Viña Bosconia son elegantes, consistentes, de gran cuerpo, buena capa y estructura, así como de gran complejidad, plenitud y expresión.

Opinión de los críticos
The profile of the 2008 Viña Bosconia Reserva is a lot less ripe than the 2009, and there are some herbal undertones; it's more reserved and austere, still undeveloped after five years in barrel and at least that much time in bottle. It's a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacho and the rest Graciano and Mazuelo that matured in used American oak barrels for five years. It reveals a medium body and some dusty tannins. It's quite the opposite from the 2009, and I think a hypothetical blend of the two would be better than each. It's a cold and austere vintage of Bosconia. 75,000 bottles produced. It was bottled unfiltered and fined with egg whites in four different lots, depending on logistics. It was bottled in November 2017.
Bosconia faces south and has plenty of fruit sweetness, even in a very cool Atlantic vintage like 2008. Combining Tempranillo with 20% Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo, it’s a
delightfully subtle, traditional Rioja Reserva that's all about secondary and tertiary flavours and aromas rather than wood. Savoury, subtle and aromatic, with wild strawberry, tobacco
and forest floor notes. 2020-28

Un reserva del que esperaba mucho más. Le falto cuerpo y no se si era ya por el tiempo en botella...
Simplemente espectacular. Aunque hay que dejarlo respirar 1 hora antes de tomarlo
