Tasting notes Ramón Bilbao Mirto 2018

Red wine Aged in wood. 24 months in French, Allier oak barrels.

Ramón Bilbao Mirto 2018 is a red wine that unveils a captivating bouquet with aromas of fresh black fruit and ripe cherries, complemented by subtle notes of white pepper and a herbal freshness of eucalyptus and mint. On the palate, its unctuousness and length are revealed, with a vibrant acidity that highlights its youth and a mature tannin that provides balance. The tertiary nuances of dark chocolate and coffee add complexity, making it the ideal companion for red meats, barbecues, or aged cheeses, and also with dark chocolate.

About Ramón Bilbao Mirto

Bodegas Ramón Bilbao can be found in the heart of D.O. Rioja, on the outskirts of Haro, one of the most privileged areas for growing grapes in the region.
The winery was founded in 1924 but it was in 1972 that they determined the guidelines for the production of Crianza wines. Currently its hallmarks are the development of high quality wines and innovation, keeping the utmost respect for tradition and history that precedes them.  
Ramón Bilbao Mirto 2008 was born from a selection of the best Tempranillo grapes grown on vines more than 70 years old. After the selection of the bunches, the fermentation takes place in small oak vats at a controlled temperature and it passes through French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation takes place without racking, only with battonage.
The wine is aged for 24 months in Allier French oak barrels after which it is bottled without being filtered.
It is a magnificent red wine with great personality and modern style.

On the palate, it is indulgent, bursting with fruity and creamy flavors. This wine boasts superb acidity and robust tannins. The finish is extensive, lingering, and refined.
2008 It has a powerful attack, with a taste that permeates the mouth with fruity, lactic, spicy and sweet sensations. Firm, ripe, defined tannins and an excellent acidity that refreshes and predisposes the second drink. Long and persistent finish. Elegant.

Dark cherry red in colour with purplish meniscus. High and very cloudy layer that has an abundance of dense tears that fall slowly and in uniform.

It is complex and intense on the nose. Ripe red and black fruits combine perfectly with spicy aromas, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and, thin but powerfully smoky and toasty notes. Background of floral notes, herbs and minerals.

Bright and very opaque pomegranate colour with purple hues.

Its wide aroma palette drives us from the black berrties, across the smoked wood and toasted bread to the nutmeg. In the mouth its soft and elegante texture yet blunt and  powerful.
