Ramon Bilbao Crianza 2005
The technical stuff first:
A careful selection of grapes from vineyards in Haro and surrounding areas (Armentari, Los Hoyos, La Cañada, El Pago and Arenales) picked during the second week in October. After fermentation at controlled temperatures, the wine was aged for 14 months in American oak casks. This was followed by another 8 months in our underground bottle racks.
Now what I think:
This wine was freaking awesome. Very intense smell or "aroma" as they say. The color is very bright, cherry red. Has a very fresh taste, not too powerful but not subdued. Went really well with the vacillo we had. I highly recommend it.
