The Story

RODA I is the blend from those plots which in that year have produced grapes of black, ripe fruit characters. The deep, dark, black fruit is almost always dominated by plum aromas together with mineral and chocolate notes, balsamic flavours, all of which form a whole which flows slowly from the very bottom of the glass, developing hugely as it reaches the expectant nose of the taster.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is cherry red, and looking clear and full. On the nose it is mature, round, seductive, complex and rich. The taste is fresh,voluptuous, round, elegant, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, with silky tannins, and high in acidity, medium-bodied, with perfectly balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has toasty, chocolate, mineral, blueberry, earthy and plum flavours. The finish is long and flavorful. This wine is excellent. I paid around 30-50€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 5-10€ years, decant at least 30min before tasting and this is a good invest wine. Good value for money. I do recommend.
