refreshing finish

pleasant finish

dense tears of glycerin fall slowly down the inside of the glass

fresh and powerfully fruity

For centuries workshops here made glass windows for the palaces of Spain from the granitic sands of the region

2004 | Bodegas Roda 'Roda I' Reserva | Rioja Criss Cross refreshing finishThe 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
