Roda 1 Rioja Reserva 2017
$185
100% Tempranillo
Aromas of blackberries, ripe blueberries, figs, cedar and roasted meat. It’s medium-to full-bodied with plush tannins and fresh acidity. Juicy and textured with a polished, rich core of fruit and spice. Flavorful, long finish. 94 Points. James Suckling.com.
All blue-black and sooo beautiful to smell: animale meat’n’blood, plus road metal minerals gain pretty violets and a lash of mineral. The palate features astonishing tannin maturity, great spiciness with fine spicy oak tucked way in at the back, while the fruit runs in the plum and cola range, with black pepper and nutmeg. It’s power with enormous finesse. Great oral perfume driven by wonderfully mature tannin. Scott Wasley (note on the overall style of the wines)
