Bodegas Roda Cirsion Rioja 2016 Chateau Ksara Contrarian possesses Blackbird's signature aromaticIntense, 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.
