  Nicely done. Nice integration of medium intensity fruit, acidity and tannin. Not too much oak. Long life ahead. The standout from Muga’s lineup.

  Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ tannin, high alcohol, full body
  Flavor intensity is pronounced
  Flavors - echoes nose with more notes of vanilla, cinnamon
  Finish - long
  BLIC - gets all 4 - outstanding
  Drink now, suitable for further aging
  
  This is a really nice wine. I have disliked many Rioja in the past but not this one. Well balanced. I think a wine like this really needs a lot of age. Drinking very well now.

  Dark, brooding wine. Notes of cherries, vanilla and sandalwood. Excellent!

  Consumed two bottles over a spicy hotpot with friends, so no formal notes. But from memory, this is a very traditional Rioja, quite deep red and beautifully balanced. There are no signs of age, just gorgeous mellowness (if that's a word). This has everything I could want from a Rioja Gran Reserva. I would expect this to hold good for another 10 years.
