Medium red. A highly perfumed bouquet displays red fruit preserves smoked meat and potpourri. Deeply pitched redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors show a slight medicinal reserve which makes this wine seem far younger than it is. The potpourri note builds with air and carries through a long chewy smoky finish. Definitely let this air out for an hour or so. Incidentally I had the chance to drink two lithe and highly fragrant bottles of the 1961 Vina Bosconia at a restaurant in San Sebastian that had been in their cellar for at least the last 20 years. If you're lucky enough to own that wine (like these older wines it is still available from the winery) there's absolutely no reason to hold off drinking it. I couldn't hold off twice.
