FOOD MATCHING NOTE:

A marvellous companion to vegetable and smoked flavours, such as those of wild mushrooms and truffles. Combines nicely with subtly spiced dishes and unsmoked, medium-cured soft cheeses.

TASTING NOTE:

Bright and very intense red purple colour. The aromas are powerful, well developed and sophisticated with memories of tobacco, cassis, chocolate coating and cedar wood. It's mouthfeel is filled with perfume added with sensations of blackcurrants, plums, chocolate powder and fallen leaves, with a juicy depth and fresh concentration. Aged in new French oak, it’s the most international of the Ramón Bilbao wines: smooth, polished and complex, with lots of perfume, structure and toast and a smoky, savoury finish.
