1994 Muga, Torre Muga, Rioja 1x750ml

Robert Parker 91

The 1994 Torre Muga is dark ruby with a garnet rim. It, too, is layered and plush with underlying structure. It is at its peak and should continue to offer pleasure for a decade to come. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767 [Jay S Miller, 29/06/2010]

Vinous 94+

Bright, deep red. Expressive aromas of red- and blackcurrant, plum, tar, tobacco, and nutty, spicy oak. Sweet entry, then very concentrated and silky; really expands in the mouth. Strong acidity gives the flavors a penetrating, lively quality. Very long, subtle finishing flavors supported by firm but not harsh tannins. As suave as this extremely impressive wine is right now, it will be better for several years of additional bottle aging. [Stephen Tanzer, 09/01/1998]
