Muga Selección Especial Rioja Reserva
£29.95 per bottle
TASTING
This Muga Selección Especial wine has a rich, deep, black cherry colour and robe.
A highly intense nose, in which notes of ripe fruit such as blackberries appear, complemented by spicy aromas of clove and vanilla coming through, giving a lot of complexity.
On the palate it has a marked, well-integrated acidity, well-polished tannins and medium body. Very silky and elegant, with ripe fruit notes reappearing with hints of well-integrated wood. Very long and balanced.
A Reserva whose good acidity and tannin suggest great ageing potential.
