Moderner Stil! Der Jahrgang 2019 ist ein eleganter Wein ...
... mit großer Farbtiefe, ein sattes Rot mit violetten Reflexen, die auf seine Jugendlichkeit und sein Entwicklungspotenzial hinweisen. In der Nase entfaltet sich ein intensives Aroma von Brombeeren und Erdbeeren. Die rauchigen Nuancen des Ausbaus in feinster französischer Eiche kommen durch und schaffen eine unvergleichliche Harmonie. Am Gaumen ist er kraftvoll, mit den gleichen vorherrschenden Aromen wie in der Nase und einem guten Gleichgewicht zwischen Alkohol und Säure sowie weichen, eleganten Tanninen. Der Abgang ist sehr lang im Mund und hinterlässt ein Gefühl von Fülle.
Verkostungsbericht Luis Gutiérrez | Wine Advocate im Juli 2022:
The 2019 Torre Muga showcases the classical blend of Tempranillo, Mazuelo (Cariñena) and Graciano, all from old and some ancient vines. The grapes are harvested into 200-kilogram boxes, the bunches destemmed and the grapes put through optical sorting to ferment in small oak vats with indigenous yeasts. Malolactic was in new French oak barrels, where the wine aged after racking for some 18 months, during which time it was racked every eight to nine months. It was fined with egg whites. 2019 is a great vintage for Muga, and they produced quality and quantity, which is remarkable. This has a slightly more modern profile and some French oak undertones, more noticeable in a wide glass and subtler in a narrower one. But it has stuffing, freshness and balance to absorb it in the short to medium term. And it's a year of power and finesse, one of the best in recent years. 47,880 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2021.
Verkostungsbericht James Suckling vom November 2022:
Intense nose of black fruit, ink, roasted espresso, black truffle and dried rosemary. It’s full-bodied with so much power and concentration. Firm but very velvety and integrated tannins. Deep core of black fruit. Yet, it’s not heavy. Long. One for the cellar. Try this from 2027.
Der Wine Spectator, Alison Napjus, veröffentlicht im Oktober 2022:
This harmonious, medium- to full-bodied version is lively and expressive, with good tension from the creamy tannins, creating a frame for flavors of fig cake, crushed boysenberry, espresso, sweet tobacco, minerally iron and stone. Long and focused on the fresh finish. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. Drink now through 2030. 3,000 cases made.
