The 2006 Roda I Reserva has a sultry bouquet with brambly black fruit, briar, and a touch of dried rose petal, all with fine delineation. The palate is tannic and masculine on the entry. It is well-defined with touches of dried blood and spice, the fruit opting to remain in the background and allowing intriguing spicy, savory notes to dominate the middle and finish. It deserves another three of four years in bottle so that it can fully express itself.
Cherry, coffee and licorice flavors mingle in this chewy red, while spice and sanguine notes add interest. Firm tannins are balanced by crisp acidity, giving way to a berry-scented finish.
