The 2006 Roda Reserva reveals toasty black fruits, Asian spices, incense, and blackberry aromas. This is followed by a forward, succulent wine that has enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years but which can be approached now. Bodegas Roda is one of the quality leaders in Rioja. They have embarked on a couple of new projects, the first being the production of an entry-level Rioja named Sela. The second new Roda project is the development of two wines from Ribera del Duero made from100% Tempranillo. Both 2009s were barrel samples but impressive nevertheless.Importer: Kobrand, New York, NY; www.kobrandwine.com

Begins with a full blast of toast and char, and then come notes of lemon, leather and rooty, sweet berry fruit. Borderline syrupy in feel, with heavy concentration and baked flavors of molasses and chocolate to go with blackberry. Seems a little over the top and stewy, but there’s no doubting its ripe, round character.——M.S.(2/1/2012)—— 89
