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:

Intense, deep, black cherry red background with bright red cherry red hues in the rim.


Nose:

Great balance between the oak and the fruit, in particular black plums, with some dark chocolate and sweet spices on a background of stark minerality showing through, providing a very elegant and complex bouquet.


Palate:

Medium bodied but showing great lenght. Mouth filling without weighing you down. The ripe black plum fruit shines together with some cocoa and dark chocolate blending perfectly with the sweet tannins from the oak.

A very elegant, pleasing wine to the palate, less powerful than the 2005 release, but beautifully balanced, silky smooth, arousing an inviting moreish feeling that makes it a great food companion even at this early stage, thanks to its well rounded tannins and its freshness, providing a long, satisfying finish.
