Tasted at the London Wine Trade Fair. Based upon 81% Tempranillo, the Roda Reserva has a warm, inviting bouquet with wild strawberry, leather, a touch of burnt toast and gravel. Good density and weight on the entry with soft, sensuous texture, but building to a smooth, succulent, red-berry, cranberry finish with a hint of roasted herbs and cooked meats that glide across the palate. Slips down the throat with ease. Tasted May 2009.

Reduced, savoury, buttery toast. Fresh, light style; lacks real density of fruit and freshness. Popular, ready to drink.

Starts out hard and crusty, but finds its place with time. The palate is bright with plum, berry and vanilla shadings, while the finish is dry, toasty and offers up vanilla and coffee accents. Has proper finesse, balance and style, but also a bit of tang and scour.——M.S.(11/1/2009)—— 89
