A fantastic Rioja of titanic proportions and yet lovely to drink now. The bouquet offers an explosion of crushed violets, wood smoke and ripe plums. The palate is just as rich offering sour cherries, ripe tannins and a superbly elegant finish. It has just received 96 points in the Wine Advocate and at this price is a real bargain.

• Feel free to mix Fine Wines with “regular” wines to make up your order of 12 bottles (or more!) in total. However, at least 6 bottles must be Fine Wine products, because Fine Wines require special distribution from our temperature-controlled Fine Wine Centre in London.

"The 2004 Torre Muga is 75% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, and 10% Graciano. It is aged for 3 months in large wood vats before spending 18 months in new French oak. Inky purple-hued, it exhibits a superb nose of wood smoke, pencil lead, spice box, scorched earth, and blackberry. This leads to a layered, opulent wine with 5-7 years of aging potential. It has great balance and should drink at its best from 2015 to 2025. 96 points."
