Medium body, dry and very acidic. If you can get around the acidity, there is some nice fruit behind it. Drink with food to reduce the sharp acidity, even after 14 years.

Quite drinkable and enjoyable at this point. Medium plus weight, smooth, mostly black, and some red fruits. Shows Paso Robles Cab notes, mild acidity, and not much tannin at the finish. An easy drinker that can be paired with salmon to various meats but not heavily smoked or grilled.

6/22/2017 11:31:00 AM - I have been drinking the Muga Reserva's 2006-2012 and I have generally found them to be excellent for the price. In the last couple of years, I have been fortunate to try the Muga Seleccion Especiales (2010, 2011), and the Muga Prado Enea's (2005, 2006, 2009). If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend the Seleccion Especial 2010, and any of the Prado Enea's (Gran Reservas). The Seleccion Especials are about $10 more than the Reservas, and the Prado Eneas are $60-70. I think the Seleccions are definitely worth the price difference and the Prado Eneas are outstanding.
