Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 92
I loved the 2020 Muga Reserva, a spicy, complex, classic Rioja that has both red and black fruits, ample cedary spice, leather, and violet-driven aromas, medium to full body, a ripe, supple, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length. A blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, and the rest Graciano and Mazuelo, it's perfect for drinking over the coming decade. Drink 2024-2034.
Wine Tasting Notes
Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva displays a ruby-red hue with hints of brick-red and a moderate depth of color. The wine showcases dense legs that create a series of patterns along the sides of the glass. Initially, one can detect red fruit aromas like blackberries, intertwined with spicy notes. These flavors are harmoniously complemented by smoky scents derived from its oak aging, which involved a light-to-medium toasting. Subtle hints of vanilla pod and roasted coffee add complexity to the aroma profile. The wine offers a smooth and gentle onset, with tannins enveloping the palate and a touch of menthol. The finish is characterized by a noteworthy lingering persistence.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
