Roda I Reserva 2004 Bodegas Roda

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2004 vintage was a great one in Rioja (as it was in the rest of Spain). The 2004 Roda I Reserva is purple-colored with an expressive, youthful bouquet of wood smoke, espresso, incense, tobacco, black cherry, and blackberry. Structured on the palate, it has enough ripe tannin to evolve for another 6-8 years. Sweetly fruited, it has superior depth and concentration, layered savory flavors, and a lengthy, pure finish. Its drinking window will extend from 2015 to 2034.

Plum, tobacco, leather and licorice mingle in this thick red. A bit blunt, but the tannins are well-integrated, there's depth to the flavors, and the finish is fresh and long.
