VINTAGE 1997

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.

TASTING

Colour:

Good layer with a bright red background and a slight evolution in the edging.

Nose:

Intense, complex and delicate. There is black fruit and also red with many details. The ripeness of the fruit is at the perfect point of seasoning. It is finely spiced, with floral details and at the same time it has notes of earth and cigar box. Always with the feeling of a forest in the background.

Palate:

Medium volume, full of expressiveness, very delicate in the mouth, long and elegant.

The fruit is continuously present and always fresh. It is a wine with a Burgundian tendency and an Atlantic character.
