Ramón Bilbao 2009 Limited Edition (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Limited Edition
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Ramón Bilbao / Rioja

Coarse on the nose, this has scratchy aromas of unripe red fruit, green herb and grass. It feels forward but choppy, with zesty acidity pushing its familiar flavors of red fruit and herb. A bit stalky and leathery on the finish, it ends with a vanilla streak.
