Muga Reserva 2020 Rioja 1/2 bottle

Muga Reserva 2020, Rioja

Muga Reserva is an exquisite wine from Rioja Alta, composed of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, and 10% Graciano and Mazuelo. After an initial aging of 2-3 months in large wooden vats, the wine matures for 24 months in oak barrels and finishes with 12 months in bottle. It offers aromas of black cherries, figs, lilacs, pepper, forest floor, pipe tobacco and sweet spices. The taste is juicy with soft tannins and a well-balanced acidity that provides a smooth and elegant experience.

Perfect for festive occasions or as an everyday wine for dishes such as pork chops, braised lamb, rich pasta dishes or spicy vegetarian dishes with mushrooms and squash. Can be enjoyed young after 1-2 hours of aeration or aged for up to 20 years to achieve greater complexity.

94 points - James Suckling: "A lovely, juicy red wine with notes of berries and plums, combined with chocolate, spices, walnut and cedar. It is medium-bodied with round tannins and a tasty finish. A touch of dried fruit in the middle of the taste. A lovely combination of umami and fresh fruit character. Also a little orange peel. A young Prado Enea. Drink now."
