Muga Rioja El Andén de la Estación Crianza 2019

92 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 El Andén de la Estación is a new red that takes advantage of the Barrio de la Estación, the train station neighborhood of Haro. It's a Crianza with less extraction, looking for the elegance and finesse of the classical Rioja wines. It's a blend of Tempranillo from their younger vines and Garnacha (that they buy) that matured in French and European barrels for 14 months. It's a quaffable red with lots of Garnacha character (it might represent up to 30% of the blend, by far the highest in Garnacha from the portfolio). It's floral, juicy and expressive, very open and approachable. This is delicious and still quite complex... It was bottled in April 2021. Drink: 2022-2026. (7/14/22)"

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$25 list] Aromas of ripe summer cherry, coffee bean and dried thyme and sage set the stage for blackberry, Mission fig, butterscotch, herbes de Provence and orange-zest flavors cloaked in silky tannins. Lingering notes of fresh sage leaf and citrus zest remain on the palate. Alcohol 14%. (Dec 2023)"
