Cirsion 2010, our high-end wine.
We need to go round the vineyard to produce Cirsion, just searching for those plants
that we consider that the ripening level is exceptional.
It is a selection of some vine in all the vineyards,
one in a thousand, it is like to search for mushrooms into the forest.
100% Tempranillo and what we try to find in the production is that the landscape is within the wine.
We are going to taste it.
We have chosen this location, which is a balcony on the Ebro River in Bodegas Roda,
with a view towards Montes Obarenes and San Felices at background.
The colour is almost impenetrable, a dark bigarreau cherry colour in the background,
with a slight violet rim.
A young wine with an enormous potential of ageing.
The nose is like an open landscape, there is a smoke line, that if is removed we can appreciate very ripe black fruits.
There is a freshness touch that comes from the 2010 vintage, excellent and fresh at the same time.
There is a floral game, where you can appreciate the violet and a chocolate note
that is advancing along the nose.
Voluminous, rich, silky.
Maintaining that balance between the volume and finesse, that is what is special of Cirsion.
A wine to speak, to think, to drink,
maybe the most complicated is to see the accompaniment,
but at the end of the meal, with an elaborate dish, a meat dish,
in the game with cheeses and chocolate, it is a spectacular pairing.
Anyway, my recommendation is to drink a bottle of Cirsion with good company.
Cheers!
