Cirsion, Bodegas Roda 2022

The dark and opaque 2022 Cirsion has the showy and extroverted profile of this cuvée. In the warm and dry 2022 vintage, it was produced with 89% Tempranillo and 11% Graciano, looking for the freshness of the grape. It's a young, sexy, juicy and voluptuous red with14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.53 and 6.1 grams of acidity that help it keep the poise and balance. It has some toasty and oaky notes and some slightly dusty tannins that suggest it's in need of some time in bottle. It matured in 100% new barriques. 7,523 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2024.

Rich but precise. The wood spices are still present, but the depth of fruit is really impressive. Resolved, powdery tannins lead to a lingering, filigreed finish. Sustained and effortless. A selection of tempranillo with 15% graciano. Already delicious but give it two more years in bottle. Around 3,000 bottles.
