2004 | Bodegas Roda 'Roda I' Reserva | Rioja Bandol earthy notes

earthy notes

to be aged 18 months in barriques

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

cigar box and the signature exotic spices of Mouton

fruity and full in the finish

2004 | Bodegas Roda 'Roda I' Reserva | Rioja Bandol earthy notesThe 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
