2004 | Bodegas Roda 'Roda I' Reserva | Rioja Bandol Intense and interesting

Intense and interesting

yellow fruit and grilled dried berries with notes of hazelnut

This has the shadow of sweet tropical fruit still hanging in the background

fruity and full in the finish

There are plenty of tannins here along with fresh black currant fruits

2004 | Bodegas Roda 'Roda I' Reserva | Rioja Bandol Intense and interestingThe 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. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
