"It had been nearly five years since I last had the pleasure to cross paths with the beautiful 1954 Viña Bosconia, and this most recent bottle seemed as if time had not even touched it since the last time I found this glorious wine in my glass. The bouquet is beautifully refined, wafting from the glass in a blend of cherries, a bit of red plum, coffee, nutskin, gentle notes of clove, a beautifully complex base of soil tones and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and beautifully complex, with a vibrant core of fruit, outstanding soil signature, tangy acids and a very long, meltingly tannic and à point finish. One of my favorite vintages ever for Viña Bosconia!"

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
