Description of Mirto 2014

Mirto 2014 (Tempranillo)

TASTING NOTES:

View: Intense cherry red, garnet rim.
Nose: complex, powerful aromas of black fruit, coffee beans, subtle hints of toast, graphite and cocoa.
Mouth: sweet and enveloping step, very fruity and fresh notes of plums, menthol and spicy, wide range of varietal nuances and toasted. Lingering aftertaste, a pleasant, expressive and final round.

APPELLATION: Rioja.

GRAPES: Tempranillo.

AGEING: a period of 22 months in new French oak barrels of Allier with a toasting level has been especially chosen for this vintage.

PREPARATION: fermentation in small French oak vats. After careful temperature controlled fermentation to achieve maximum extraction of aromas and color, step barrels to perform malolactic fermentation without racking, only with the batonnage by the technique of "bâtonnage".

PAIRING: dishes with vegetable and smoked flavors like mushrooms and truffles, with dishes and stews subtly spicy and soft cheeses half healing, chop terne (cecina), with corpulent but creamy cheese (Stilton).

TEMPERATURE: 18-19 °C

The sommelier's review

Elisabeth Banyols

Mirto 2014, es un vino muy joven aun. Un bebe que tenemos que dejar unos meses antes de disfrutarlo. Le he probado en marzo/2019, acaba de salir al mercado. Un vino potente, sedoso presentado en una botella muy elegante. Se podría llamar Clásico-moderno! Un vino elaborado con mucho estructura. 90/100

4/5

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.

4/5

Buying Ramón Bilbao wine at Uvinum, it's really worth.
Red primary color with violet hints. Sure smell of gooseberries. It felt too acidic of a Rioja.
