Score 89/100 · Drink 2004-2012, Robert Parker, Apr 2004
The 1999 Roda II is a blend of 75% Tempranillo and 25% Grenache aged 16 months in French oak. This excellent dark ruby/purple-colored effort reveals plenty of finesse and elegance in its Burgundy-like personality. Medium-bodied with abundant quantities of red and black fruits intermixed with tobacco leaf, spice box, and licorice characteristics, it will drink well for 7-8 years.
