VINTAGE 1994

RODA I

Black fruit in a wine with character that maintains the freshness of the fruit.

RODA I is blended with parcels that that year have ripened in a black fruit profile. The deep black fruit, is almost always dominated by the plumb and supported by mineral notes, chocolate and balsamic sensations, that form an ensemble that slowly flows from the furthest side of the glass until it becomes huge in the entrance of the nose. In the mouth, the volume becomes evident, the fruit complexity nicely surrounds the mouth cavity showing the numerous and polished tannins. The wine gets longer making stronger the retro nasal sensation every time we breathe. A fruity and fresh sensation will last, inviting us to continue drinking.

Colour:

High layer with red trim and dark red bottom. Surprisingly young for the vintage, it looks like a wine from the 2000s.

Nose:

Very intense and at the same time deep with a very black character with notes of black plum, cocoa and earth, with a great mineral character and details of tobacco leaves and sweet spices. He came very serious with a very important nose.

Palate:

Voluminous, powerful, it fills the mouth in an impressive way, with very lively black fruit, it is still very young. Plum and cocoa appear very fresh. It is a huge wine.

The aftertaste is very long. It still has a certain austerity but great nobility.

It is a wine that will live many more decades.
