Roda Reserva 2004

Was happy to have a new vintage of this Rioja after having the 2003 last year in Granada. Opened to aromas of cherries, licorice, plum, chocolate, raspberries, violet, coffee beans, vanilla and some earth notes. The palate was well balanced with fruit, tannins and acid all harmoniously working together. Over time it just got smoother and better. Again a superb wine which I highly recommend.
50+4+13+18+8 = 93/100
