2020 Costers del Sio La Boscana Tinto, Catalonia

The La Boscana Tinto by Costers Del Sio from Catalonia shows a bright purple colour in the glass. At the edges, this Spanish red also shows a transition to violet. If you swing the wine glass, you can perceive a first-class balance in this red wine, as it does not appear watery, syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. The first nose of La Boscana Tinto caresses with blackcurrants, blackberries and morello cherries. The fruity aspects of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel ageing such as gingerbread spice, dark chocolate and oriental spices.

This wine inspires with its elegant dry taste and was bottled with only 1.6 grams of residual sugar. As one can naturally expect from a wine in the upper price range, this Spaniard naturally enchants with the finest balance in all dryness. Taste does not necessarily need sugar. This velvety and dense red wine presents itself balanced and multi-layered on the palate. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, La Boscana Tinto flatters with a pleasing feeling on the palate without lacking freshness. In the finish, this red wine from the wine-growing region of Catalonia finally inspires with considerable length. Once again there are hints of black currant and morello cherry.
