Muga Selección Especial 2011

Cherry compote, black raspberry and cola lead on the nose, threaded with dried florals and the warm vanilla signature of 26 months in French oak. Entry is generous and bright, with bitter cherry and rose pastille carrying through the mid-palate before mocha softens things on the back half. Dusty, firming tannins give shape without bulk, and the finish is long and clean. Polished Rioja with real presence.
