2005 Bodegas Muga Rioja Gran Reserva Prado Enea
Community Tasting Note
Rick 4 Wine Likes this wine:
Sunday, November 15, 2015 - Wine is drinking great here. We decayed and consumed over two and a half hours. Flavor profile didn't change appreciably after the first thirty minutes. We took to our favorite Basque restaurant in Atlanta and the wine was humming with dishes like Duck ricollette on toast with cherry compote and blue cheese, roasted duck, piqueno peppers stuffed with braised boar. You get the idea. This is a better food wine than just sipping wine, and we found hues of cherries and lighter fruit among great tannic backbone and some wet earth (not stone per se, more like clay). Wonderful wine drinking well here with a little air.
