Torre Muga 75cl 2016

70% Tempranillo, 20% Graciano, 10% Mazuelo.

Torre Muga is een wijn uit Rioja

15 maanden gerijpt op eiken.
Torre Muga is een elegante complexe rode wijn. Rijp fruit, een vleugje kruiden, "roasted tones" rijpe tannines en een smakelijke afdronk.
Goede combinatie met rood vlees, wild, boeuf bourguignon, paté, jamón en harde kazen.
Goed op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2031 nog verder ontwikkelen.
De optimale drinktemperatuur voor Torre Muga is 17°C.

The Wine Advocate (about 2016):

"I tasted a super young 2016 Torre Muga that had only been in bottle for some four months. But even so, the year seems to be approachable and open. Even if the wine has concentration and power, it has great balance and freshness. And it's drinkable now, even if it's going to get polished with some more time in bottle, where it should have a long life. This was the most modern of the wines in the portfolio, but I think the modern and traditional styles have been converging over the years, and nowadays there is not a huge difference between them. And for its age, it feels quite round, and it doesn't have edges or any harsh tannins; the oak is present but it's neatly integrated in the wine. It has to be one of the finest vintages for Torre Muga. 36,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in early 2019."
