VINTAGE 2001

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:

Good layer of medium intensity with a red background and tile edges. It has the normal evolution notes for an 18-year-old wine at the moment.

Nose:

The oak is imperceptible. The red fruit stands out, still present, mixed with spices in a precious evolution. Sensation of freshness and in the background a certain liquorous note. There are also floral notes that form a very expressive and harmonious set.

Palate:

Very friendly, with a silky touch and fine tannins. The fruit is clearly red and there is a lot of freshness. It is very long and delicate. Very elegant and sophisticated, it is at a magnificent time to enjoy it and impeccable maturation is appreciated.
