Lovely nose, old wood, classic balsamic notes. Juicy in the mouth, with lots of body, olive tapenade tinged dark cherry, abundant soft tannins. This is my last bottle and it is in a perfect place right now, and notably better than the bottle I had two years ago. Powerful, graceful, and charismatic.

Delicious, accompanying barbecued T-Bone with roasted veg. The wine remains in good nick however the fruit is fading. I will drink my last bottles over the next eighteen months.

(Muga "Torre Muga") Nose of spice, mulberry, cardamon, chocolate, cocoa, red berry fruits, minerals, scorchd earth and bubblegum. Palate just explodes with bright berry fruits, even brighter acids and ripe but pretty big tannins. Soft velvety texture. The finish has some pepper spice and outstanding length along with palate-staining fruit. This really wowed me. A great modern Rioja.

BBQ with AJ and Flip in our garden, steak with baked pots.
Very smooth, fruits dissipated, a solid red, clung invitingly to the sides of the glass. A very full nicely aged Rjoja. one left.

Sweet, succulent. Old wood, mashed olives, bright acidity. Mature and alluring. Very nice. Drink now and over the next couple of years.
