L'avis des experts
The modern icon 2021 Cirsion shows some toasty notes and an extroverted personality, aromatic, expressive and open, grabbing you by the throat with abundant notes of ripe black cherries and violets with generous spice, exuberant and with some echoes of carbonic maceration, like wines from the past. It has a medium to full-bodied palate with very fine tannins that make it textured, with a chalky mouthfeel that combines with the juiciness from the ripe fruit. This year, it has up to 14% Graciano (more than ever?) to complement the majority of Tempranillo, from selected vines that achieve a special ripeness. It has 14.5% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity, making it balanced. It combines power with elegance. The fact that it ages in 100% new barrels doesn't show in the aromatics or flavors. It's still very young and seems to be evolving at a slow pace. It's a very complete vintage for Cirsion. 5,587 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.
Such a deep, polished wine with aromas of cocoa powder, violet extract, iodine, fresh blackberries, minerals, spices and black pepper. Super crafty tannins on the palate with concentrated fruit. Full-bodied and juicy, rounded by an iron fist of filigreed, melted tannins. Extremely long, plush and voluptuous, but not heavy. The graciano pepperiness really spices it up. A more international style of Rioja, but it is every bit as good in quality. Made from a selection of tempranillo vines in Rioja Alta and graciano from Rioja Media. This is one of the best Cirsion. Tempranillo and 14% graciano. Already delicious, but will age beautifully.
Unusually, Bodegas Roda gives its top wine, Cirsion, less time in barrique – typically eight months, albeit in brand-new French oak. From a year hailed as the best since 2001, this glorious wine has beguiling scents of honeysuckle and jasmine, plus the wet slate/petrichor note that is a hallmark of recent vintages. The richness, precision and good acidity signal a long life ahead.
