Muga Reserva Selección Especial 2010
Descripción
Un clásico de la zona que poco a poco se ha ido modernizando hacia un perfil más entero y fresco. Ahora cuenta con más potencia frutal y una madera perfectamente integrada. Sin duda, un tinto que cuenta con una buena evolución por delante y resulta sumamente gastronómico.

Opinión de los críticos
Only made in very good years, such as 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010, this displays the more modern face of Muga, with 90% French oak and dense, powerful fruit flavours of black fig and plum, with plenty of smoky vanilla sweetness and the acidity and structure to age.
A round and silky red with deep and rich fruit and floral aromas. Wet earth too. Full-bodied, racy and beautiful. True Rioja. This comes from older vines of tempranillo with an average age of 20 years or more. Maceration is a little longer. Six months in new French oak and then 24 months in old French and American oak barrels. One and a half years in bottle.
Tight as a drum on the nose, this rambunctious Rioja is throbbing with blackberry, plum and floral aromas. Intense and staunch on the palate, with plum, raspberry, cherry, herb and chocolate flavors, this runs long on the finish, with power and acidity to spare. Hold until 2017, then drink through 2035.
The 2010 Reserva Selección Especial is always the most food-oriented of their reds, a blend similar to the one found in the Reserva, 65% Tempranillo with some 20% Garnacha, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, but here the grapes are sourced from older vineyards in higher-altitude terraces where there are poorer soils and the grapes have an extra degree of freshness. The wine is also aged for longer in barrel and it's slightly marked by toast aromas, but the bright fruit underneath is quite pure, and comes through very recognizable as Rioja. A second bottle showed fresher (the cork on the first one was a bit dry), even brighter and more transparent fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins that would benefit from some more time in bottle and have a long life ahead. There is very good acidity and fine balance. It's a wine that is perfect for the table. A great Selección Especial. 200,000 bottles produced.

Excelente RPC. Repetir.
Gran Rioja,nunca defrauda.Larga vida por delante........si resistes la tentación y no te lo bebes antes.
4,9!! No llega a 5 pero es inegable que es un muy buen vino. Dejarlo que respire antes de consumir
Otro de los grandes Riojas que quedan. Muy solido, equilibrado, poco ácido, fresco. Merece la pena siempre.
Ha dejado mucho que desear, un final estridente e impropio de una botella de esta categoría. Mala conservación. Muy decepcionado.
