Score 91/100 · Drink 2003-2013, Robert Parker, Feb 2003
Made from 100% Tempranillo from 60-year old vines, the 1998 Roda I Reserva spends more time in French oak, and is bottled unfiltered. A beautiful nose of black cherries, cassis, smoke, and toast is followed by a pure, medium-bodied offering possessing excellent purity, superb texture, and a long, concentrated, seamless finish. It should drink well for a decade. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Selections, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
