Limited stock. Deep red, against a cherry background with scarlet edging. High-to medium-depth colouring. Very smooth & intense, with the waves of Atlantic freshness typical of vintages from the high, westerly provinces of La Rioja. Upon impact, these waves of aroma release alternating impressions of red & black fruits, cherries & plums. Hints of minerals develop in the nose, along eith smooth, fresh spices. The wine conveys the sensation of a stroll through the woods, among the fallen leaves & the damp earth, while at the same time providing a reminder of minerals, the cocoa & the plums that are so typical of Roda I. Elegant, delicate, with a good body that persists throughout the mouth without diminishing. Silky tannin. The fruit is very complex & spicy, moving through the mouth before finishing with an explosion of freshness. After drinking, the wine leaves very fine aromas of fruit, along with hints of woodland & earth that hark back to a rainy spring & cool summer, with a fine autumn that adds the signatory flourish to one of the best Atlantic-style vintages we have produced.
