Peaking right now, don’t wait: amber bricking on edge, black & red fruit - deep reservoir of ripe intense aromas & flavors, baking spices, worn leather, licorice, mineral - so expressive, massive on palate, beautifully balanced, tamed from so many years in bottle. Perfect accompaniment to my Saturday night T-Bone — 20 days ago

As expected, this is rich and voluptuous but somehow manages to have a sense of balance and sophistication. Drink now for its hedonism, but it really needs another 5 year also to settle down. — a month ago

Medium bodied but full enough to hold up to the medium spice from chef Fernando Olea's Sazon in Santa Fe. Duck breast with Mole Verde paired well. — 19 days ago

Tasty alone and refreshing with food, a bold and uncomplicated rioja. A burst of tart raspberries at first, not too sweet, fading to a juicy, lingering finish. The texture is medium-thin but with a creamy softness. Excellent value. — 23 days ago

Delicate cherry with some body to it. A nice sipper that stands up to fried food. — 11 days ago

First time in a while with the Muga Reserva, one of the region’s most ubiquitous wines – and often one of its great bargains, too. Of the various vintages that I’ve had, I can’t say I notice a consistent style, but the quality is there more often than not. The 2019 is a polished, suave affair but a little over-extracted for my taste. Though there is some savoury quality on the palate, I wouldn’t say the wine is very demonstrative of this region’s appeal. That said, it is very harmonious throughout, and the wines of Muga age well, so I look forward to seeing how this fares in another five years. — 20 days ago
