2005 Bodegas Roda 'Roda I' Reserva Rioja Haut-Bailly The wine is a bold

The wine is a bold expression of dark macerated cherries

the newer plantings on the East Ridge are now coming up on twenty years of age

while the mouthfeel is fresh with notes of cherries and red berries

with a hint of vanilla and oak

very tight and focused with very fine tannins that are strong and bright

2005 Bodegas Roda 'Roda I' Reserva Rioja Haut-Bailly The wine is a boldThis has a fantastic finish with so much going on. Unique aromas of dark fruit with shell and hot stone undertones. Full bodied, yet poised and focused with firm and silky tannins and a long and beautiful finish. This is one of the best ever from here. Drink or hold. 98 Pts James Suckling
