Tasting note
Expect the 2021 Roda Reserva to open with red cherry, blackberry and a hint of dried thyme. Rioja Tempranillo should feel savory and finely knit, with fresh acidity brightening the fruit and tannins giving a gentle, even grip. Its projected peak falls between 2027 and 2041, within a broader window through 2048. The close should be dry and persistent, leaving cherry skin, spice and a faint earthy note rather than overt sweetness.
