There is a sense of harmony and elegance, of nuance and subtleness that wasn’t quite the same in the Bosconia, as comparing both wines is inevitable. They started picking the red grapes the 15th of October, and the last grapes were picked the 29th of October with good weather. The grapes ripened properly and thoroughly, and the wine has great balance for a long aging in bottle. This is 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho and 5% each Graciano and Mazuelo that fermented in their 153-year-old oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in used barrels for 10 years. It has 13% alcohol, a pH of 3.4 and 6.4 grams of acidity (tartaric). The nose shows young (tasting it blind, you’d guess a 10-year old wine, not a 20-year-old wine!). It has a nose of sweet spices, underbrush and cigar ash, somewhat balsamic, bramble fruit with perfect ripeness, integrated and young but starting to show some tertiary complexity. The palate is velvety and medium-bodied, with fine-grained, chalky tannins denoting a limestone soil that brings finesse and texture and a sapid, tasty, almost salty finish. This is going to make a beautiful bottle of old Rioja in 30 years’ time! 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled after being fined with egg whites in July 2012.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terroir Selections","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":46856910274782,"sku":"815783000044","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/8382\/7166\/files\/LopezdeHerediaVinaTondoniaGranReservaRed2001.webp?v=1756214257"},{"product_id":"lopez-de-heredia-vina-bosconia-reserva-red-7","title":"Lopez de Heredia Vina Bosconia Reserva Red","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"pipWineNotes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipWineNotes_copy viewMoreModule js-expanded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"viewMoreModule_text\"\u003eThis wine has evolved perfectly showing a deep ruby color with shades of orange. Its nose is persistent, full bodied and showing a lot of mature fruit, being dominated by the Tempranillo grape. Its taste is round, smooth, fresh, full of body and persistent.Dried flowers and dark fruit on the nose with some mahogany and bark. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and lovely polish and length. Compact and long. Tangy, too. Special wine, showing its age and tradition. Decant an hour before serving.

It matured in used American oak barrels for five years and is clean and complex with a nutty and mushroomy nose, polished tannins and good acidity. \u003cstrong\u003eRB 95 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Terroir Selections","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":46856942223582,"sku":"815783000082","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/8382\/7166\/files\/a05201c7df4d76c8b2e8e73f64b98e48.png?v=1749074413"},{"product_id":"lopez-de-heredia-vina-tondonia-reserva-red-2001-7","title":"Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Reserva Red 2001","description":"Vibrant red leading slightly towards amber. Light fresh texture with notes of vanilla and dried berry aromas. Rich, very dry, smooth, developed. Firm tannins and good balance.Lots of dried fruits from pear and apples to all citrus. Honey undertones too. Full body, tangy fruit and acidity. Hints of limes and vanilla also. A fascinating wine.

It's austere and elegant, with balance and concentration, polished tannins and a chalky texture, long tasty and dry. This is lively and should continue developing in bottle for quite some time...  \u003cstrong\u003eRP 96\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Terroir Selections","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":46856942256350,"sku":"56454654","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/8382\/7166\/files\/411195c04187e132fd15816ede31423f.jpg?v=1749039355"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/8382\/7166\/collections\/Lopez_de_Heredia_Wines.jpg?v=1763128762","url":"https:\/\/luekensliquors.com\/collections\/lopez-de-heredia-wines.oembed","provider":"Luekens Wine \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
