Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2018 Cirsion also feels a bit young, and it is also quite ripe with 14.5% alcohol, reminiscent of the modern wines from the turn of the century, powerful, ripe and generously oaked. There is a different granularity here; the tannins are a little coarser; there is a bit of an edge, and it’s not as polished; it’s a little wilder. I think this is going to age well. They managed to produce 10,200 bottles. It was bottled in March 2020 after only eight months in barrel.

Description
It is a deep red wine, created by Bodegas Roda, in La Rioja. It is made with two varieties that complement each other extremely well: 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano, which gives it freshness.
In the gastronomic field, it is an excellent accompaniment to cured cheeses, acorn-fed Iberian ham, beef, grilled red meats, roasted red meats, small game and big game.
Elaboration
Cirsión is a red wine made on the basis of a careful selection of grapes that must meet very specific characteristics. This is possible through a thorough monitoring of the vineyards that meet the conditions required for the production of this wine.
Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled oak vats and it is aged in new French oak barrels for about 8 months. Clarification is carried out using natural methods with egg whites.
Taste
Cirsión is an intense, delicate red wine, with an endless freshness, silky texture and a long, full-bodied finish, full of nuances and background scenery.
An enigmatic, elegant, balanced and fresh wine.
Cirsión strives for excellence and complexity and has a finesse and aromatic richness that reveals itself even when the wine is young.
It presents great capacity to keep for years, showing the freshness of youth, but which can be tasted for the next 15-18 years.
Cirsión is undoubtedly one of the best red wines, made with the best selection of grapes. Have you tried it yet? Let us know what you think.
