Wine Advocate 94 at $38: not only the top Muga Reserva ever but equal to their best ever $60 Reserva Especial:
It's a textbook example of their style in a very good year, with power, concentration and clout, elegance and freshness. It was a very harmonious year; the cycle was long and the tannins ripened to perfection. It's terrific and more so for the volume they produce.
Best ever on CellarTracker, too, with reviews like this:
Meaty, savory, nose. Smoky spiral ham with clove & brown sugar. Palate turns up the volume with delicious layers of flavor that all fall in line with the nose. This is fantastic!
As always, one of the great values in classic Rioja, and indeed in all of Spain.
(Especially at what is its normal NC wholesale price!)
