2004 Bodegas Roda Rioja Reserva

2004 Bodegas Roda Rioja Reserva – Spain, La Rioja, Rioja (8/2/2009)
Exotic spices and sweet dark fruit in the enjoyable nose. On the palate spicy dark fruit, cherry-like acidity, dark coffee and a hint of leather. Accessible, but still fairly primary. Doesn’t have the depth or sheer deliciousness of Roda I, but the relation between price and quality is better. (90 pts.)
