The most unusual and backward of the wines in the Muga portfolio is the Graciano-rich blend 2016 Aro, a blend of Tempranillo with 30% Graciano that is only produced when Graciano ripens properly. The grapes comes from a single vineyard that they now know quite well. 2016 was a good year for the grape, and the wine has notes of violets and dark chocolate, quite hedonistic and showy. The Graciano really lifts the Tempranillo, and the blend comes through as high pitched and vibrant, which is also the general style of the year from what I've seen. The oak is still present on the nose, and the palate shows quite tannic; the wine is going to benefit from a couple of years in bottle. If you like toasty, showy and hedonistic reds you could drink it now, but if you prefer more subtleness, you should wait for it. 5,200 bottles were filled in February 2019.

This powerful red offers ripe dark fruit flavors of currant and blackberry, supported by muscular tannins and sparky acidity. Loamy earth, espresso and mineral notes add depth. Rich and dense, in the modern style. Drink now through 2032. 430 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
