Bodegas Roda Cirsion Rioja 2016 Chateau Ksara Perrieres is a Premier Cru

Perrieres is a Premier Cru vineyard at the southern end of Meursault

but excellent potential for additional cellaring over the next 10 years

but the intensity is softened by the terroir elements coming through from the well-balanced delicacy and grace that has become synonymous with Stags’ Leap estate wines

showing blue exotic florals

The nose reveals a complex mix of aromas including raspberry

Bodegas Roda Cirsion Rioja 2016 Chateau Ksara Perrieres is a Premier CruIntense, complex and enigmatic with smoke, moist earth on the nose. Powerful, voluminous, delicate, with tannin already very fine, a real caress to the palate. Liquorice, chocolate, mint, like an exquisite caramel filled with freshness. It is long, almost immense and the freshness of the fruit remains in the aftertaste. The contribution of Graciano is evident, but it is perfectly integrated under the Tempranillo. The wine is huge but never excessive.
