Bodegas Muga

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2019

Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga Martínez, now run by 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! — 5 months ago

Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2014

This says Reserva.
I didn’t know.
But… that’s some Spanish old vine Tempranillo w French barrique aging(24 mo.) hell, you could have left it in there another 24.
N: Really smells like dirt and tobacco. Black plums way back there. A Big, black nose of reined in funk.
P: Tannin city, charcoal, prunes, really begs for protein, skillfully done.
Next time, 2hrs in a decanter.
Thanks @ Garagiste.

Bovale Utiel-Requena Old Vines Bobal 2019

Nicely made and exuding character. Nose has bright, deep plummy fruit, along with nice, fragrant spice and a wisp of smoke. Mouthfilling, pure fruit on the palate, with a light touch, finish turns savory and shows lots of stony minerality. Nice acids and a bit of soft, chalky tannin comes out at the end. Terrific value. — 3 years ago

Rioja TEMPRANILLO BLEND 1961

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with wide brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red currants, cherries, earth, black coffee, licorice, oak, black tea, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 63 year old Tempranillo from Rioja is still drinking nicely, although obviously not at its peak.

Soft and elegant with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and elegant. Tangy and interesting.

Still has enough fruits in it to last another 10 years. Not showing as much complexity as I expected, but it's always nice to try these kind of old wines.

I enjoyed it very much, all by itself.

A blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha. Aged in French oak barrels for 3 years. Recorcked by the winery a few years ago. Only 400 bottles made.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$120.

Mondo Verdejo 2019

Ravfarvet. Fyldig, mineralsk, salt. Fersken og havvand i næsen. Lidt træ i munden. Virkelig interessant udgave af verdejo-druen. — 3 years ago
