Wine Advocate, October 2024, Score: 94
In the 2019 Roda I, I found notes that I had found in many 2019s—ripe black fruit, an earthy touch and a touch of dark spices. It's medium to full-bodied, combining power, concentration, ripeness and elegance in a clean and modern style. It matured in French oak barrels, 50% of them new, but it’s not really noticeable, for 16 months. 128,034 bottles produced. Drink 2024-2032.

James Suckling, October 2024, Score: 97
Immense depth and exuberance here. Fine spices, dark plums, fresh blackberries, blueberries, graphite and crushed stones. Naturally concentrated, broad, vertical and full-bodied, but still fluid and linear. Crumbled, dusty tannins grow on the palate, leading it to a juicy, tightly wound finish that goes on and on. One of the best Roda I? Drinkable now upon decanting, but much better from 2025.

Roda have a knack for producing irresistible, modern style Riojas and the 2019 reserve is another knockout. On the nose, there are notes of ripe blackberries and cinnamon spice that are indicative of the vintage, with added sweetness in the form of crème de cassis and vanilla pod. No doubt there is power here, yet the judicious use of oak and careful tannin management means that the flavour profile of black fruit and tapenade remain defined throughout. There’s nothing wrong with drinking this now or in 20 years’ time. Drink 2024-2045.
