| | 2004 MUGA TORRE MUGA RIOJA Wine Enthusiast - Buying Guide
This seems eminently ageworthy, it has the strong foundation and pulsing acidity required of a true cellar dweller. The raspberry and plum fruit have a beam of acidity and the tannins are not shy. Shows all the hallmarks of a fine modern Rioja: power, purity and balance. 91

WINE SPECTATOR - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Plush and harmonious, this red is alluring yet subtle, with intense flavors backed by an impressive structure. Look for black currant, cocoa, cigar box and mineral notes now, and expect further complexity as it evolves. Drink now through 2020. 2,000 cases imported. —T.M. 95 PTS
THE WINE ADVOCATE, FEB 2008 # 175
ROBERT PARKER
The 2004 Torre Muga is 75% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, and 10% Graciano. It is aged for 3 months in large wood vats before spending 18 months in new French oak. Inky purple-hued, it exhibits a superb nose of wood smoke, pencil lead, spice box, scorched earth, and blackberry. This leads to a layered, opulent wine with 5-7 years of aging potential. It has great balance and should drink at its best from 2015 to 2025. 96 PTS
