Best bottle in a good minute! Dried herbs and spice, game, mushroom, and baked fruit. Baked with an incredible sour limestone minerality. Blackberry and cinnamon...on and on!!

Ten years in and still sleek and tight, oak still needs a few more years to integrate. A powerful wine. Give it time.

Improved nicely since my last try over 2 years ago 👏 enough to make a wild Spanish bull smile, dance & sing olé 🐮 For £45 it’s a darn good Spanish spanking 😊
🏵 94 points
🍇 75% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo & 10% Graciano
🍷 Opaque ruby
👃 Soggy earth & dry cured meats through balsamic, spiced dark cherry, olive & thick mocha w/ soft smoked oak, vanilla, blackberry & dark plum turning into a touch port raisin w/ air
👄 Med+ creamy smooth body of dark cherry bathed in balsamic & olive tapenade w/ a mocha blackcurrant liquorice kick
🎯 Long dry crushed & dried dusty blackberry/currant finish with a plummy cherry mocha kick
🐑 Paired yummy with Mrs Es Lamb Tagine ⏩ scroll too see yumtastic fodder ⏩ on Instagram 😉

One of my favorite wines. Nose, dark fruit, cedar and oak. Rich and creamy on the palate. Good balance and texture. Muga still one of my favorite bodegas from Rioja, Spain.
