Very dense and structured wine

Solid fruit and paired well with steak.

1-2 hours airtime on decanter absolutely helped. — 5 days ago

Full-bodied and rich with a fabulous bouquet. An outstanding wine to celebrate my birthday with an excellent prime rib. Dark fruits, dark chocolate, pomegranate, leathery, smokey, and earthy. A real treat. — 5 months 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

+1 hour decant(lots of fine/cloudy sediment). A splendid still inky dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: expressive notes of dark red fruit, currants, smoked meat, tobacco leaf, scorched earth, nutmeg. Taste: silky, layered, rich wine with ripe blackberry/blueberry, earth, baking spice, chocolate, and a long minerally espresso never-ending finish. YUM!! — 2 months ago

Much improved from the prior bottle of this vintage. There is significant fine sediment and taking more care in separating in the decant made for a world of difference. Decanted and enjoyed over 4+ hours. Was as vibrant and heady at the end as it was after 45 minutes. Deep structure and well balanced. Fruit was rippling. Just fantastic. — 8 months ago

Fabulous. Son’s birthday dinner. Opened this and the Tor at the same time but saved this to go second thinking it needed more time on the decanter. Certainly more structured than the Tor with a lighter more restrained nose straight from the bottle but wow what power. With time that nose showed up and the bouquet leapt from the class. Classic delightful cab nose and dark fruit. Heavy, dense and oh so delicious on the palate. Finish lasted. This you knew was going to be great right from the start with a quick taste. Only got better with time and could have used even more than the 90 min decant. — 3 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

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

Se dice que la Tannat es la uva que mejor se adapta al clima Iqueño al sur de Lima-Perú, clima seco, desértico, suelos franco arenosos, casi no llueve. Esta uva es utilizada sobre todo como mezcla en los vinos europeos, en esta parte del mundo en Uruguay es la uva más importante. Acompañamos el vino con unas arvejas partidas, aceite de oliva a discreción, guarnición de arroz blanco coronando con un bistec apanado, temperatura de servicio 16ºC -18ºC armonía perfecta saludos #vinosdelperu #vino #vinos #winelovers #pisco — 8 years ago
