Muga Crianza 2019
Descripción
Un crianza de referencia que en realidad es un reserva (así se le conoce en el mercado internacional), por su larga estancia en barrica de 24 meses. Elaborado con una mezcla de variedades clásicas riojanas, Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo y Graciano, se muestra equilibrado, muy largo y frutal. Su buena estructura permitirá guardarlo unos años más. Los que no quieran esperar disfrutarán ya de su deliciosa nariz de frambuesa, mora, vainilla, regaliz y chocolate. Excepcional.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2019 Reserva, sold as Crianza in Spain, comes from a dry and warm year with low yields and concentrated wines. The grapes from the Haro zone, the four from Rioja, Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Mazuelo and Graciano fermented destemmed and lightly crushed in oak vats with indigenous yeasts, and 80% of the volume matured in French oak and the rest in Centro European and American oak, 20% of them new, for 22 months, during which time the wine was racked every eight to nine months. 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. They produced an impressive 960,000 bottles and 18,000 magnums of this. There is only one master blend that is bottled at different times. I tasted a bottle that was filled in April 2022 (because of the lack of availability of bottles!).
This is a structured and linear Muga Reserva with a creamy and fine-tannined backbone and graphite, cherry, plum and black-truffle character. Medium-bodied, racy and beautiful. 70% tempranillo, 20% grenache and 10% mazuelo and graciano. Delicious now, but will age beautifully in the cellar.
Still on the young side, but such is the demand for this wine that it's already on the market. Pairing Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha, 6% Mazuelo and 4% Graciano, with ageing in a 80/20 mix of French and American oak, it's spicy, succulent and smartly wooded, with raspberry and blueberry fruit, sinewy tannins and plenty of acidity to freshen the finish. 2024-35.

Otro gran vino de Muga. Calidad-precio imbatible. De esos vinos que se disfrutan de principio a fin. Elegante y equilibrado
Imposible abrir la botella y no terminarla. Va ganando a cada sorbo. Una garantía de calidad.
Sin duda, estamos ante uno de esos vinos de los que puede afirmarse sin duda a equivocarse que vale mucho más de lo que cuesta. Nunca falla.
Valor seguro, no hay botella mala. Temazo. Riojaca de cojones. Clásico molón. El amigo que nunca falla. Dame otra!!!!
excelente nunca falla
