Ramón Bilbao Reserva 2016

Tasting: Everything a traditional reserva Rioja should be. Intense aromas of fresh red and black fruit with sweet spices, vanilla and brioche, the palate, luxuriously silky, delivers cassis, blackcurrants, black cherry, incense laden spices and forthright but perfectly balanced tannin.
