RODA I is blended with parcels that that year have ripened in a black fruit profile. The deep black fruit, is almost always dominated by the plumb and supported by mineral notes, chocolate and balsamic sensations, that form an ensemble that slowly flows from the furthest side of the glass until it becomes huge in the entrance of the nose. In the mouth, the volume becomes evident, the fruit complexity nicely surrounds the mouth cavity showing the numerous and polished tannins. The wine gets longer making stronger the retro nasal sensation every time we breathe. A fruity and fresh sensation will last, inviting us to continue drinking.

Tasting Note

Intense and bright, with a high layer, with a cherry red background and a red rim.
The complexity of the aromas and the quality are surprising. Excellent nose. There is a superposition of aromatic layers that are expressing themselves. The wood is very discreet, always holding the fruit and the spicy notes. The layer of fruity aromas is abundant, with a clear profile of black fruits, highlighting black plum and blueberries. In the layer of spices there is a play of cloves, black pepper and a light touch of cinnamon. In the background, details of very subtle white flowers can be seen. The aroma of humid earth, which brings back mineral memories, mixes with that of cocoa in a really pleasant aromatic layer.
It has good volume and a pleasant touch. The tannin is present, but it is very fine, of great quality. The fruity character with a black profile stands out in the mouth and the protagonist is the plum. There is a slightly bitter note, like that of the stone of the fruit, very pleasant, which adds personality to the whole. It is full of flavors and the wood appears perfectly assembled in the mouth.
