The 2020 Muleta is a super-classic red and it's amazing. It must be like the wines of 50 years ago — austere, serious, full of nuance, elegant and subtle. This wine is mostly Jaen and Baga. The vines of the Muleta vineyard, on the north-facing slopes of the Mondego, are dying, and they had to use some grapes from other vineyards to complement them; they have three plots nearly 100 years old.

It aged in seven-year-old 225-litre French oak barrels for 15 months. It has a very balanced palate with fine-grained tannins. They opened a 2013 for me so I could see the nice rusticity this wine has and how it evolves into something elegant, like the ugly duckling... that was never actually ugly.

It's a wine for both the table and the cellar, as it evolves very slowly.
