Cirsion 2001 Bodegas Roda

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (97)

In the finest vintages, Cirsion, a cuvee selected from the top vineyard sites and barrels, and aged in 100% new French oak, is produced. It is one-hundred percent Tempranillo from yields averaging 14-18 hectoliters per hectare. The prodigious 2001 Cirsion appears to be a legend in the making. Aromas of espresso roast, new saddle leather, creme de cassis, cherries, and raspberries soar from the glass of this aromatic Spanish red. Full-bodied with that extra layer of concentration and extract that great vintages seem to provide, it exhibits nearly perfect integration of acidity, wood, tannin, and alcohol. It’s an incredible effort in a great vintage for Rioja.

Old-vine character here, baby! Dark berries, spice, mushrooms, bark and dried flowers. Full-bodied with round and velvety tannins, yet tight and polished. A great wine.
