Founded in 1987, Bodegas Roda is one of the newest wineries in Rioja but has rapidly established itself as a meticulous producer of incredibly high-quality Tempranillo and very much represents the modern side of the region, favouring a short maturation time versus more traditional extended barrel ageing. Cirsion was conceived in 1995 as it was discovered that some vines produced grapes of such distinctive fruit and tannin quality that they merited a separate bottling. 1998 was the first commercial release and is a wonderfully voluptuous wine now at peak for drinking with delicious notes of black fruits, liquorice, tobacco and herbs.

Vinous
Full ruby color. Knockout aromas of black fruits, violet, lead pencil and mint, plus a liqueur-like hint of kirsch Chewy and powerful but seamless and suave, already showing superb inner-mouth sweetness and perfume. Strong spice and licorice notes. Firmly tannic and very long on the aftertaste. If the Roda I is a wine of the '90s, this may well presage what to come in Rioja in the 21st century.Stephen Tanzer1st November 1999
