A rich and full-bodied 100% Tempranillo, lovely on the nose with dark fruit and smoky aromas. Full and lush on the palate with ripe dark fruit, smoke and flinty, mineral flavours on the palate. In the Drinks International magazine Ramón Bilbao was named one of the top 50 in their list of "The World's Most Admired Wine Brands of 2019."

Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A rich and classic wine from the Rioja valley of Spain, the Ramon Bilbao Limited Edition 2016 offers a delicious bouquet of fig, raisin, dried rosemary, pastrami, parmesan cheese, wood burner and cedar. Made from 100% Tempranillo, this full-bodied wine shows well integrated tannins and supple acidity. The finish is short with a touch of dried fruit. Palate: sour cherry, dried blueberry, black pepper, leather, cocoa and cedar. Enjoy!
From the Rioja wine region, Ramón Bilbao Limited Edition 2016 Tempranillo Crianza is full-bodied with ripe black fruit, cocoa, baking and pepper spice flavours on the palate. Nice, soft smoky finish with velvety tannins. So ready to drink now. Pair with slow-braised beef brisket. - Community Wine Reviews
