Bodegas Ramón Bilbao 'Lalomba' Finca Ladero Tinto Rioja 2018

A prestigious, high-altitude single-vineyard Rioja red crafted from ancient terraces on Monte Yerga. Combining Tempranillo and Garnacha aged in French and Hungarian oak, it reveals an elegant, terroir-driven profile of ripe blackberries, wild mountain herbs, refined spices, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: This complex, full-bodied red pairs exceptionally well with roasted lamb, grilled ribeye steak, or rich wild boar ragout.

94 Points - James Suckling

This is a full-bodied, meaty and juicy red that shows notes of tobacco, black fruit and smoked paprika on the nose. The tannins are now well integrated. Delicious olive and spice notes on a long, fleshy finish. Drink or hold.
