The 2019 Reserva comes from a dry and warm year with low yields and concentrated wines. This is serious and young but balanced, nuanced, and complex. They are shortening the time in oak, as they feel they have better and younger barrels and think the wines need less time in oak and more time in bottle. This is very Muga, very Rioja, and very good.
What We Thought: This classic Rioja has a big black cherry nose and a ripe, full-bodied palate of more black cherry and blackberry fruit, along with notes of black pepper and licorice along with soft, supple tannins that still display a hint of dustiness that implies more improvement over time.
