2011 Torre Muga, Bodegas Muga, Rioja, Spain

Torre Muga is aged for 18 months in new French oak and is made up of 15% Mazuelo and 10% Graciano in addition to the core of Tempranillo. Spice from the oak is married to the distinct berry fruit character which is pure, direct and powerful. In time power will somewhat reluctantly cede to complexity and the work of art will be complete.
