2018 Bodegas Muga 'Reserva' Rioja

$39.95

This 2018 reserva wine has a bright, ruby-red color, with nice depth and concentration, and a youthful garnet tinged rim. On the nose it proves to be a wine which is complex in aroma, in which primary aromas of fruit such as blueberries are enhanced by spicy nuances. On the palate it is long, balanced and elegant, with perfectly integrated acidity and smooth tannins. The finish is very long and fruity. Perfect to enjoy now, but will age gracefully in the right cellar conditions.

James Suckling

This was the only red that Muga made in 2018, and the wines from the best vineyards went into the blend. In other words, top vineyards were declassified. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that are caressing and refined. Plenty of subtle berries, chocolate and walnuts.
