The 2004 Muga Reserva Seleccion Especial is deep crimson-colored. Dense and packed, it offers up aromas of cedar, spice box, mineral, pencil lead, and assorted black fruits. It nicely conceals enough structure for 6-8 years of evolution. This lengthy effort should drink well through 2030. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain. Tel: (781) 461-5767

Ripe black fruit flavors mingle with espresso, anise and mint notes in this bold red. Firm tannins support a thick texture; there's plenty of oak and alcohol, but enough acidity for balance. Best from 2009 through 2020. 2,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
