2002 Lopez de Heredia Viña Bosconia

Our first wine that we drank to welcome in the New Year was a bottle of Lopez de Heredia 2002 Viña Bosconia. It's 10 years old now and still drinking very well. The color of the wine was a clear ruby with no signs of oxidation.
The wines come from R. Lopez de Heredia Viña Tondonia located in Rioja, Spain. The winery was founded by D. Rafael López de Heredia y Landeta in 1877 in Haro and has remained in the family, now in it's fourth generation. The wines are made in the traditional style of their great-grandfather, aged in American oak, and released 5-10 years after the harvest vintage.
The Bosconia wine is made from a vineyard on the property called El Bosque and it contains Tempranillo (80%), Garnacho (15%), Mazuelo and Graciano make up the rest of the blend.
