VINTAGE 1992

RODA

Represents of one the two profiles of the ripening of Tempranillo: the red fruit.

In RODA we look for the parcels that that year have ripened in a red fruit profile, with the expression of the aromas present in the edge of the glass, ready to be felt immediately; with sweet spice notes and a kind freshness. In the mouth the red fruit carries the importance, with a fresh, long, silky, voluptuous and continuous mouth pass. Before vintage 2002, RODA was called RODA II.

TASTING

Colour:

Light coat, open in color, with a red background and orange rim.

Nose:

Good intensity, very fine and spicy. It maintains the fruit well between the notes of evolution of the aging. Its profile is clearly red and is in line with good classic Riojas.

Palate:

Its volume is light, with a very fresh sensation and notes of evolving red fruit, in the cherry range. It is very long and fine, it does not finish, in the mouth it is very stretched and with fine and fresh tannins. This wine followed a path of relatively rapid evolution that is now stabilized in a very interesting phase. It is very good to enjoy it but knowing that you are drinking a 25-year-old wine at the moment.

Tasting held in Haro on March 29th, 2017
