(70% tempranillo, 20% garnacha and 10% mazuelo and graciano, aged in a blend of 60% French and 40% American oak, all new): Glass-staining ruby. Exotic, oak-spiced red berry and cherry aromas, with hints of mocha and rose. Round and seamless in texture, offering sweet raspberry and cassis flavors with a touch of bitter chocolate. Supple tannins sneak in on the finish, which features notes of ripe dark fruit and baking spices.

Year after year, Muga nails this wine. It is not quite as good as the 2004 (if my palate recalls correctly), but it still gets the 5-star rating. It is one of those rare wines in this price range that is drinkable, perfectly balanced, food friendly, and complex. It went down easily and at the end of the bottle we were wondering "how did that disappear so quickly?"
