Muga Selección Especial 2019

The subtle and harmonious 2019 Selección Especial reflects a very complete and good vintage. It has to be one of the finest vintages for this wine. 2019 is a powerful vintage with balance and freshness. The grapes ripened thoroughly and developed a full set of aromas and flavors. It’s complex and nuanced, with abundant, fine-grained tannins and a long, dry and tasty finish. Selección applies to the vineyards but also the barrels and everything that contributes to this wine; it’s not only a selection of lots, which was the case before the 1994 vintage. It was bottled between April and June 2022 after 26 months in barrel. Drink date: 2024-2032. Score – 95. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Feb. 29, 2024)
