Classic Rioja with a modern touch: black cherry compote, blackberry, baking spices and leather, with a fat cutting stony edge to the tannins. Ideal with roast lamb, red meats or aged cheeses. Decant it for an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuby red with garnet highlights. The nose is a rich bouquet of ripe plums, black cherry compote and blackberry, interwoven with vanilla, roasted coffee, cocoa, baking spices and leather, with smoky, toasty notes from the oak. The palate is medium bodied, with dusty tannins that have a stony edge, good acidity and a long, spicy finish. A classical Rioja, ideal with food. Already drinking well, and it should keep and open up for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Press Ratings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91 Points - Tim Atkin (2018 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91 Points - Guía Peñín (2018 Vintage)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTempranillo 90%, Graciano 8%, Mazuelo 2%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBodegas Ramon Bilbao, founded in 1924, have adopted a philosophy centred on giving their wines their own personal expression of Rioja Alta. Their aim is to define a fresh and elegant style, producing fruitier wines, in which the character of the grape is fully expressed, rather than hidden behind an excess of wood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jascots Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63260463432067,"sku":"JAS10118","price":27.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/RamonBilbaoRiojaGranReserva_6a46d967-2496-450c-b667-ba9e7cc8cec8.png?v=1714379310","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/ramon-bilbao-rioja-gran-reserva-2018","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
