There are plenty of tannins here along with fresh black currant fruits

Decadent and rich aromas of black cherries and plums with wet earth and sandalwood

to be aged 18 months in barriques

sits on the southern slope of Saint-Emilion: a complex

Its tannins are wide and spirited

2004 | Bodegas Roda 'Roda I' Reserva | Rioja Bandol There are plenty of tanninsThe 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
