Bodega Roda Rioja Reserva 2017

91 Points Robert Parker

They look for red fruit (and dress the bottle with a red capsule) in the 2017 Roda, but tasting
it next to the 2016, you see a different ripeness in this unusually early and hurried year. The
wine is a little weaker and feels more affected by the élevage in oak, noticeable in the aromas
and in the creamy palate. This is a Roda to drink younger than the more-complete 2016.
In 2017, there was 6% Graciano and 5% Garnacha to complement the Tempranillo.”
