Gran Reserva

2004 Rioja Tempranillo

The Ramon Bilbao Gran Reserva is a captivating Tempranillo from the renowned Rioja region, showcasing a deep ruby red hue that reflects its age. This vintage, released in 2004, exudes complexity and elegance, offering a full-bodied experience that envelops the palate. With a pleasing acidity that brings liveliness to the wine, it dances harmoniously with the lush fruit intensity, revealing layers of dark berry, plum, and subtle hints of dried fruit. The tannins are refined and structured, providing a firm backbone while seamlessly integrating with notes of oak, vanilla, and spices derived from its time in barrel. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an excellent companion for rich dishes or a delightful choice to enjoy on its own, illustrating the exquisite craftsmanship characteristic of its region.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines.
