The 2010 Edicion Limitada is sourced from 40-year-old vineyards on gravel and sandy soils and it is aged in French oak for 15 months. It has a light, earthy bouquet with melted scents of red cherries, strawberry and balsamic, the oak well-integrated into the fruit profile. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy, juicy tannins and a rounded, svelte strawberry, raspberry and leather-tinged finish, then black truffle lingers on the aftertaste. Drink now-2016.
Ramon Bilbao produces a commendable set of well-crafted, modern Rioja wines.
