muga, Rioja, Spain
A classic bottle aged Rioja."70% tempranillo, 20% garnacha and the rest mazuelo and graciano) Bright ruby. Vibrant, seductive perfume of black raspberry, powdered rose, anise and minerals. Weighty but lively cherry and dark berry flavors are brightened by zesty minerals, picking up a candied licorice quality with aeration. The finish repeats the deep dark berry note and leaves exotic flowers and minerals behind. Very elegant wine that suavely blends richness and finesse"92/100 Tanzer
"One of my favorite Rioja estates, Bodegas Muga continues to fashion traditionally made cuvees, but also has a foot in the future." R.Parker. This wine is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Granacha and 10% Mazuelo y Granciano. " It delivers an alluring nose of cedar, tobacco, earth notes, mineral, and black cherry. This is followed by an elegant wine with good depth and enough ripe tannin to evolve for several years. Nicely balanced and long in the finish, it will be at its best from 2012 to 2020 if not longer."90/100 Parker
