Der Aro ist der moderne Spitzenwein der Bodegas Muga, die Cuvee aus 70 % Tempranillo und 30 % Graciano wurde mit den besten Trauben der ältsten Rebstöcke hergestellt.

Wine Advocate #159 (Jun 2005)  Robert Parker 98 points  Drink 2005-2017 $172.00 A candidate for the finest wine of my Spanish tastings is the 2001 Aro, a blend of 70% Tempranillo and 30% Graciano aged 18 months in new French oak, a la a first-growth Bordeaux, and bottled unfiltered. Sadly, there are only 250 cases of this stunning cuvee, which is produced from the estate’s finest old vines (60 years of age). An inky/purple color is accompanied by sumptuous aromas of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, incense, black tea, flowers, and sweet cherries. Opulent and full-bodied, with high levels of tannin, and wonderful sweetness as well as definition, it is a tour de force in winemaking. Anticipated maturity: now-2017.
