2022 Muga “El Anden de la Estacion” Rioja [Rating: 2/5 | $17]

Tasted on August 22, 2025.

Dry red wine, 14.5% alcohol. Medium darkness, with purple rims. High intensity nose, with plums, blackberries, flowers. Extremely aromatic. Full body, slight heat in the palate. The structure is big, with lots of tannins that seem disjointed and a bit harsh. Plums dominate the palate, some notes of tobacco in the finish.

This wine is a fruit bomb – huge, high in alcohol, and with a ripe nose. The tannins are also unbalanced. Too bad – the previous vintage I had tasted was amazing.
