Rioja Reserva DOCa 1,5 l Magnum in Holzkiste 2015 - Bodegas Ramón Bilbao

The Rioja Reserva DOCa by Ramón Bilbao shines in a dark garnet red in the glass. On the nose it shows a complex, intense bouquet, with aromas of ripe red fruits, which are typical for the grape varieties Graciano and Mazuelo. Beautiful acidity notes, as well as black fruits gives the Tempranillo grape this wine with hints of cherries. In the background are spicy notes of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cedar and tobacco to perceive.

On the palate, this red wine cuvée is full-bodied and very balanced. Very ripe, soft and round tannins result in a long, tasty finish with elegant roasted aromas and the interplay of red and black fruits.
