Roda Reserva 2005

I couldn’t help myself, I just needed to have another look at the 2005 Rodas. I find Roda to be quite closed at the moment, you need to have a quick look straight after opening the bottle or a big ol’ decant (or about 2 to 3 years in the cellar) to really show what its made of. But that’s not anything new, just about every vintage of Roda and Roda II has been the same. The trainspotters will notice the newRioja label on the back of the bottle too. This year’s blend is 81% Tempranillo, 9% Craciano and 9% Garnarcha, 1% rounding error…
