VINTAGE 2002

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:

It has a middle layer and it maintains it well, although the logical evolution in a wine of its age is appreciated. The background is red and the edging is brick-colored.

Nose:

In the attack a slight metallic tone is appreciated. The wine is very intense and highlights the freshness. A vintage of less maturation is appreciated. The fruit is clearly red with a lot of liveliness. There are notes of spices and tobacco that complement the fruit. The wine maintains points that make it very personal.

Palate:

It is very pleasant, fresh and fruity, with a lot of life and intensity. The red fruit appears very clearly in a fresh version. It is very rich in the mouth, the tips that were felt in the nose also appear in the mouth, giving the wine a feeling of freshness. The tannin is impeccable.

Tasting held in Haro on January 3rd, 2019
