Resolved but can go several years yet. Lovely and aromatic, medium weight, bright. Acidity provides good cut; not lean, rather decidedly middle weight. Overall a delicious if not profound bottle of wine in a good place.

Drinking well enough, reasonably resolved, but like many Jadot wines it's just quite dull / blunted. While tasty enough, it completely lacks charm or anything to make it either exciting or interesting. A couple of recent low end 2010's from more humble villages but better producers have been far better and more interesting.

Rich and deep, nothing really out of place, but quite ripe. Plum heading towards fig and raisin. Lacks lift and feels a bit plodding and jammy. Certainly a well made wine but not in my wheelhouse (I recall enjoying Roda more 10+ years ago but probably haven’t had a bottle in that long). A recent humbler bottling from La Rioja Alta was more classic and more appealing.
