wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2010 Roda Reserva? Should I decant it, and what type of opener is best for older vintages?
For this 2010 Roda Reserva, we recommend serving it at 16-18°C (60-64°F). The 2010 vintage was excellent for Rioja, and this wine is drinking beautifully now, with potential to age gracefully for several more years. Decanting for 1-2 hours will allow its complex aromas to fully develop. While not extremely old, a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Ah-So, or Durand opener can be useful for any mature wine to ensure cork integrity.
