Are you needing a great gift for the wine enthusiast on your list? I'm offering a 3 bottle gift pack of the 2009 Bodegas Muga "Torre Muga" Reserva Rioja with 3 Riedel Vinum Bordeaux XL Glasses $250 94 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar... (75% tempranillo, 15% mazuelo and 10% graciano; aged for 6 months in large wooden vats, then moved to new French oak barrels for another 18 months): Bright purple. Explosive aromas of dark berry preserves, cola, Indian spices and woodsmoke, with a sexy floral topnote. Smooth, palate-staining black and blue fruit flavors show impressive vivacity and focus for their power. Sweet, spicy and extremely persistent on the finish, showing very smooth, harmonious tannins. (10/ 2013) It makes an excellent gift - great wine!
