Appearance |
The wine Roda Reserva is deep ruby with a cherry coloured rim. |
Nose |
This blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Grenache has a delightful nose, pure and very precise. Notes of ripe cherries, plums, spices and balsam, intertwined with aromas of Arabica coffee, pipe tobacco, underbrush, lavender and fresh violets. At the bottom of it all, there is a constant mineral beat. |
Palate |
Meaty, expressive and delicately warm, with first-class fruit, which enhanced by a masterful ageing process. Eastern spices, cedar, balsam and undergrowth remembrances. Smooth and palate-coating, with mild tannins and a crisp acidity. This wine of Bodegas Roda has a long finish with some remembrances of clove, vanilla and Havanna cigars. |
Our personal opinion |
A modern classic from La Rioja, the wine Roda Reserva 2021 is fragrant, pleasant and very well crafted. |
