90 Points

Sunday, May 26, 2013 - Note sure if it was the brooding pre-party Pinot that coated our tongues that night, but this Bosconia (usually a family favorite) just seemed a little dull. Great haunting nose, but suffered from a flaccid finish. Chalking it up to planning the wine order of the evening wrong.

    When you say family wine, I suppose you are referring to a Reserva range, aren't you?
    This is obviously a GR...
    Little confusion or just your family wine is this rare GR? Just curious...
    Cheers!

    I drink from time to time Bosconia Reserva, rarely GR but have to say that usually this is a consistant value
    I adored LdH reds in the past. Still love them but sincerely speaking, today I am kind on their whites.
    Cheers,
