Muga's Gran Reserva Prado Enea is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and the remaining 10% between Mazuelo and Graciano, carefully selected from their best parcels in the western end of Rioja Alta. Aged for 36 months in American oak, the wine is then further aged a year in their cellars. After the 3+ years of aging the wine is released onto the market with the Muga's trademark intense, concentrated aromas of black fruit, red berries, and spice. Very powerful, the fruit driven palate shows layers of flavor and exotic spice.
"The expressive, complex and nuanced 2016 Prado Enea Gran Reserva is a textbook traditional Rioja in the making. 2016 was a very elegant year, with aging potential, volume and very good acidity and freshness. It's full-bodied but fine-boned, has 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.25 grams per liter acidity. It has terrific balance, with all the components in the right proportion to age superbly in bottle. They have also been working on the selection of wood used. This wine matured in French and American oak barrels for three years, and the oak is super integrated. 127,808 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2020. It was an exceptional year with volume and quality." The Wine Advocate, 97+ Points
"Complex aromas of dark fruit with violets, walnuts and chocolate. Classy. It's full-bodied with plush yet fine velvety tannins, and a precise and pointed finish. Juicy and savory. Tight finish. It's very long. This is beautiful now but will be even better in three or four years. Linear and vertical at the same time. Try after 2026." James Suckling, 97 Points
"Deep ruby in color, this wine has a nose of cocoa powder, coffee bean, lavender and cherry. It is smooth at first sip, with tannins that slowly build in volume and then drift away to reveal black cherry, blackberry, chocolate, mint and orange-zest flavors. The brilliant finish is marked with a floral note. Drink through 2036." The Wine Enthusiast, 97 Points
