Roda Reserva 2021 Bodegas Roda

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The 2021 Roda, the wine that was once called Roda II, with more red fruit than black and a more approachable profile, was produced with a blend of Tempranillo with 6% Garnacha and 5% Graciano in this cooler and very complete year. It has notes of aromatic herbs, wild berries and flowers, quite spicy and with a medium-bodied palate, contained ripeness and 14% alcohol, and the 2021 polished and round tannins make it very harmonious and long. The élevage was in 50/50 new and second-use French barriques and lasted 14 months. The oak is neatly integrated, and the wine shows young and clean.

James Suckling (93)

Touches of balsamic and iodine to the rich blackberries, mocha and dark cherries. Rich yet chalky and savory, with a full body and structured, very fine-grained tannins. Drink from 2025.
