2023 vintage. Loved the 2022 vintage of this and gave it a 9.2 (6.12.25). This is slightly better. Medium body. Nice chocolate notes up front. Beautiful balance now. 3.23.26. — 18 days ago

Called Gruner. Group favorite, my #2. lemon meringue, white blossoms, nutmeg. Crushable. — 10 months ago

He’s not picking early, yet the wine is well balanced and fresh. Expressive. Plenty of fruit. Expanding brambly strawberries and underbrush. Firm tannins. Luminoso! — 4 years ago

Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga Martínez, now run by children Manuel, Isabel & Isaac Muga Caño. Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice, unmistakable Muga. 4 grape blend from the Haro district (70% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), palate shows cherry and currant flavors with espresso, vanilla & toasty oak tones. Soft full tannins, lively acidity on a medium+ finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Nice value! Great vintage! — 6 years ago

Forgot to write notes that night but this was nice. Another great example of a lieu dit punching above its weight. — 4 months ago

Pretty similar notes to the 2020 vintage - more gold tinge to this one. Very nice! — 4 years ago

Don’t know if I settled down the third time around or the wine did, but a more focused experience this time. Who knows, maybe three times a charm. An ethereal light to medium body, all balsamic, mushroom notes & wild black currants. — 6 years ago

I found this 2022 Bordeaux reasonably priced at Trader Joe’s. I thought this was very easy to drink. Very flavorable and smooth going down. I will buy this again! — 5 months ago

Just opened another bottle! Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga Martínez, now run by children Manuel, Isabel & Isaac Muga Caño. Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice and oak. 4 grape blend from the Haro district (70% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), 36 months in oak, palate shows elegant flavors of cherry and currant with espresso, vanilla & toasty oak tones. Soft full ripe tannins, lively acidity on a long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Great vintage! — 5 years ago
