Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain

A rich nose of ripe blackcurrant, plum, sweet tobacco, chocolate and bouillon. It’s full-bodied with plush tannins and fresh acidity. Chocolatey and flavorful with a velvety texture. Excellent length. Drink now or hold.

Like the other wines from this vintage, the 2018 Roda is more austere, with less ripeness and alcohol than the 2019 (this is 14%) and with better freshness and drinkability, with some herbal undertones, freshness in the palate and some grainy tannins. This might not be as polished as the 2019, but I found more character here. The difficult vintage produced 137,199 bottles of a blend of 92% Tempranillo, 6% Graciano and 2% Garnacha. It was bottled in July 2020.
