94 points Wine Spectator: "This full-bodied red is powerful yet harmonious, with ripe, well-integrated tannins. The impressive structure carries finely etched flavors of cassis, black olive, mineral and licorice that need time to come to full expression. A modern style, but avoids international clichés. Best after 2008. (11/15/07)"
92 points Jay S. Miller (Wine Advocate): "The 2003 Torre Muga from a torridly hot vintage is a glass-coating opaque purple color. Dense with a roasted character, it has plenty of power but lacks elegance. Nevertheless, it is a solid effort from a difficult vintage. (Jun 2010)"
92 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Inky ruby. Impressively fresh aromas don't suggest a hot year: spicy red berries, cherry-vanilla, anise, rose and lavender. Fresh red fruit flavors are brightened by zesty minerality and complicated by suggestions of licorice candy, mocha and floral pastille. A crisp, focused Rioja that finishes with gentle grip and very good length. (Sep 2007)"
