Roda 1 is one of my go to Rioja loves 💗 & is superb for the money @ £35-£40 😉 The 01, 04 & 05 were all top wines 👍 The 2011 is showing well & a great example of a modern Rioja 👍 Nit a deep as other vintages & more fresher but fab still 😎

📍 Roda 1 2011 Reserva

🏵 92 points w/ more potential for sure

🍇 91% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano & 1% Garnacha

🍷 Deep opaque ruby w/ a purple hint

👃 Soft smokey oak through dark cherry w/ touches of herbs, cocoa, peppered spices, red berry liquorice, earth & blackcurrant

👄 Med body of creamy dark cherry bathed in cocoa w/ a black berry fruit & raspberry kick evolving into sone prune & date tones as it opens after a few hours - the Grenache brings a lovely freshness to this vintage 👍

🎯 Med+ dry cherry driven dark fruit linger w/ a hit of minerality & a red berry fruit kick

🍛 Went amazing on its own & with Mrs Es 🍗 curry 😍 Pics on Instagram ⏩

Really well made, I did not enjoy the 11 as much as I loved this one. Ripe cherries wrapped in tobacco and local spices (rosemary, fennel). Great tannins and length. Congrats (a competitor to Roda, my homeground, and a good solid one). — 9 years ago

Good fruit carry here still. Tasted alongside '08 Roda Reserva, this lacking depth compared to this. More forward, lighter. Still great example. — 11 years ago
