Muga Muga Muga. Always good. ‘16 seems a bit more international than past vintages. I had one in Madrid a few years ago that was 15ish years old and spectacular. This only had a slight hint of that pedigree... but enough to bring back the memory.

A fresher rioja than most. More subtle oak but still clearly Spanish.

2016 vintage. Last tasted 7.7.21. Dark cherry, ground black pepper and spicy oak nose. Medium body with enough plushness for those looking for a palate pillow and enough acidity/tannins for those looking to retain red street cred. Plummy finish. Maan…this is getting mo better. Need to pick up another 3-6 bottles and bury them. The nice price.

2016 vintage. Ripe nose. Great, deep color. Decent structure along with plenty of plushy. Finish a little short but drinking this waay too young. Should be a real treat in 8-10 años y mas.

A very pleasant acidity. This wine is very leather and tobacco with short spicy finish.
