Good Rioja, leaning toward a modern style. Blue and red fruits. Good acid. Good balance. Still on an upward trajectory. Day 2 was better than Days 1 and 3. Suggest 2-3 hour decant. This is a wine that I am always thankful for.

After three hour decant wine showed up and surprisingly showed a nice touch of elegance for a Rioja. Tanin and fruit were very well balanced, not a lot of depth but complemented T-Day turkey dinner exceptionally well. Excellent QPR but IMO needs about 5 years to come around. This bottle at 8 was a winner.

Adequate. Had before a 2016 Napa cab. Pleasant. Had to concentrate a bit to fully enjoy

Drinking right now. Decanting for one hour was sufficient. But you can certainly drink right out of the bottle. Muga Reserva - Always a reliable wine.
