Bodegas Roda, Roda I Reserva

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.

Very intense and complex, with very black fruit and some red glitters. The Feeling of black plums blended with sweet spices and at the same time fresh fruit buds. Cocoa and damp earth with some aromatic herbs. Light chocolate and plum notes.

Palate:
Great volume, with a very silky touch and fine tannin. The cocoa and the fruit are perfectly integrated, combining ripening and freshness. Excellent and elegant in the mouth, light, lively and voluminous at the same time. An important retronasal. A long aftertaste with a great pleasure feeling and the remembrance of the ripe fruit. Minerality and complexity. Great wine.
