Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Tasted in 2021. Aromas of black cherry, raspberry, dried herbs, leather and smoke. Full bodied, bold and flavourful, with some soft tannins remaining and quite a bit of mouthwatering acidity on the palate. Dark fruit notes are leaning a bit more tart than they seemed on the palate, and the dried herb, leather and smoky hints are more subtle and balanced on the palate. Lovely, with a lot of life remaining in this wine. Enjoy with rack of lamb seasoned with mustard and herbs.

Rebecca Meir-Liebman rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A beautiful blend of mainly Tempranillo with some Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo. Rich with black fruit, cassis, herbs, smoke, and tobacco on the palate. This wine has a rich nose and is big and bold on the palate: The tannins are robust which shows that it can age for over 15 more years and will continue to get smoother and more interesting with time. Still drinks young, but there is a certain charm in that as well.

Natalie's Review

R. Lopez de Heredia Viña Bosconia Reserva 2007, Rioja D.O.C.A., Spain: A juicy, mouth-watering Tempranillo with 10% Grenache and 5% each of Graciano and Mazuelo. Plushy plum on the nose with ripe dark plum, cherry and dried herb and sweet tobacco flavours on the palate. Tannins are smooth. Drink: 2019-2027. 529586 13% XD 750 mL $53.95 Score: 91/100.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
