VINTAGE 2000

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:

High medium layer with good intensity, red background and good evolution.

Nose:

Good intensity, along the lines of ripe and fresh red fruit at the same time. It has complexity and the whole nose is very nice. There is also a certain amount of liquor but the fresh fruit stands out, reminiscent of the cherry and the cherry stone.

It is within the Mediterranean profile, but it has more liveliness than RODA II 98.

Palate:

With good volume, it leaves a feeling of fullness in the mouth. The tannin is of very good quality and the fruit is present throughout the length of the mouth. The cherry is perfectly marked and is living very well.

Tasting held in Haro on December 14th, 2017
