Cirsión Barrica 2007

One of the best Rioja wines. Cirsion 2007, produced by the winery Roda, is the fruit of a very hard work, as this was the year in which the mildew attacked in the spring and early summer reducing the harvest considerably. This difficulty was solved with a remarkable ripening and a late harvest of a considerably limited production but of very good quality. Made of Tempranillo grapes from old vines from different vineyards, this wine is fermented in oak vats at controlled temperature and then aged in new French oak barrels for about eight months. Clarification is made with egg white.

Very dark cherry color, with scarlet trim. Intense and bright, with abundant legs.

Great intensity and aromatic complexity. Abundant ripe red and black fruit with fine notes of toasted (typical of high-quality ageing). Lactic notes with hints of spicy, bitter chocolate and a balsamic touch of fresh mint,... All those feelings that we would like to find in a wine like this.

Impressive attack. Greedy and comprehensive. Creamy, velvety, tasty and fresh mid palate. Sweet and ripe tannins. Very balanced wine with notes of a great quality ageing. Long and persistent finish with all the sensations perceived in the nose.
