Wow! A Fabulous expression of the Best of Spain! This was a Awesome Wine that last night rivaled the Best the Best the U.S. had to offer. I think it was the # 1 or 2 Spanish that I have ever had. Incredible against 15 other wines tried at Il Villagio in Cherry Hill NJ. CB 99

This is a super hard Rioja to get your hands on (think Rocking Horse 💩) & is Mugas top wine only produced in top vintages so I was quite happy to find this & some 2015 as only around 5,600 bottles 😮 it’s not cheap at £120-£155 but I’ve been chasing for ages! Having had the amazing Prado Enea & Torre Muga in 09 I couldn’t wait 😊 The verdict? It’s a monster 😈 but will benefit 5-10 years more age 😉
📍 Bodegas Muga - Aro 2009
🏵 95 points w/ 96-98+ potential 👀
🍇 70% Tempranillo & 30% Graciano
💥 14.5% ABV
💨 4hrs+ or 15 mins in #vSpin
🍷 Deep opaque blackened ruby
👃 Double shot mocha through more coffee, black cherry & blackcurrant w/ blueberry, liquorice, dark red roses, violet & drowned red fruits w/ a touch of balsamic & vanilla cream
👄 Med++ intense loaded dark fruit body of black cherry, blackcurrant & blueberry bathed in cocoa mocha cream w/ a hint of balsamic & liquorice in fine slight dry tannins & mineral
🎯 Long deep dark fruit annihilation w/ a red fruit undertone & big mocha liquorice slight dry mineral kiss
