2019 Bodegas Roda Cirsion (OWC) Wine 5 months in 65% new

5 months in 65% new French oak

with a lovely raspberry and plum fruit character

with bright cherry fruit and oolong tea

delicious and generously proportioned broad-shouldered flavors possess both outstanding concentration and power before culminating in a driving and strikingly persistent bitter fruit pit-inflected finish that is shaped by a prominent and very firm core of ripe tannins

after a four-hour double decant

2019 Bodegas Roda Cirsion (OWC) Wine 5 months in 65% new"Complex, fresh and deep nose here, with a minty accent to the black and blue fruit, such as blackberries and blueberries. Some fresh violets, hot stone minerality and hints of tar, cigar, musk and cocoa powder, too. Juicy palate thats packed with naturally concentrated flavors. Silky and satin like tannins linger with the fruit into the lengthy finish. Full bodied, yet even and svelte." 98 100 James Suckling
