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:

Medium layer, slightly less than 95, with a red background and orange rim.


Nose:

Very intense with floral notes that stand out over the red fruit and notes of fine leather. The aromatic composition is very peculiar and complex. Very fresh, with a sensation of cherry.


Palate:

Good volume, very expressive, the red fruit appears clearly and there are also notes of fine leather.

The tannin is delicately present.

It is a wine that has positively surprised me after not tasting it for a long time, although there are some notes of an animal character between the fruits and flowers that can make it somewhat more difficult than usual.
