Roda 'Red Note' Rioja 2021

As always with Roda, the tannin perfume (and mineral smells) are as much a feature of the wine as fruit itself. The palate is full, lined with spice, leavened with pippy acid and tannins that are at once round and fresh. The wine is open and alive, with harmony a real feature: red fruits are floral with a touch of tea, balsamic with glace cherry, briar and toasted thyme. With excellent roundness but not too fruity, it’s perfectly lined by delicately spiced tannin, releasing spaciously. Scott Wasley - The Spanish Acquisition
