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!

Good wine but a little bit overdone on the wood and consequently the vanilla flavour. Personally, I think a bit more "elegance" would be better

Rioja clásico muy equilibrado. Fruta y madera muy bien integrados. Paso por boca muy agradable con un final largo. Un gran vino a un precio asequible.

Massive spice and smoked earth, vanilla, black raspberry, chocolate granache. Cedar and clove. Tannins are subdued while acidity is still medium plus. Long, boozy finish.

So good! Didn’t realize it was 375ml so spent double but it delivered. Even Jared noticed a difference! Had with pizza...cool summer night after Mt. Missouri. Hit the spot.

Good every day Rioja. A bit sweet and not overly tannic for a Rioja. Bold but not very elegant. Fine-grained tannins and integrated acidity. Solid vintage. Pick up a few more for sure.
