VINTAGE 1995

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:

Red background and orange rim. Clearly with more color than the RODA II of previous vintages.

Nose:

Intense, rounder and more consistent than previous RODA II vintages. The character of the ripe red cherry dominates and there are even hints of black fruit.

There is a certain note of liquor and very pleasant sweetness and it has a certain connection with the great Bordeaux.

Palate:

It is wide with good volume, with a sensation of roundness, with a lot of fruit between red and black. The tannin is impeccable, very silky and has very good volume.

It is a high-level wine, very tasty, with a certain very pleasant liquor that was also appreciated on the nose.

The aftertaste is long and very rich in nuances.

It enters RODA's range of great vintages, after the two very complicated years that were 92 and 93.
