2015 Muga Aro

Opaque ruby. Intensely perfumed aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, mocha and incense, along with cola, vanilla and smoky oak nuances that expand in the glass. Sappy, concentrated and seamless in the mouth, offering powerful blackberry, cherry-vanilla, fruitcake and floral pastille flavors that are given spine and lift by a core of juicy acidity. Conveys a suave blend of richness and finesse and finishes extremely long and smooth, with harmonious tannins adding gentle grip.

Only produced in great vintages (it hasn't been produced since 2010), the 2015 Aro focuses on a mix of Tempranillo and Graciano and is a normal blend of 70% Tempranillo and 30% Graciano in 2015 that was sourced from a sandy, loam vineyard in the Rioja Alta. The vinification occurs in larger oak tanks and the wine spends 18 months in new French oak followed by a year in bottle before release. Incredible notes of liquid violets, blueberries, blackberries, smoked earth, chocolate, and graphite aromas and flavors all dominate the bouquet, and it’s rich, full-bodied, ultra-pure, and flawlessly balanced on the palate. This is a powerful, magical wine in every sense. It needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will keep for 20-25 years or more.
