Friday, October 3, 2014 - At home, first bottle of a recently purchased case. PnP on this bottle, would benefit from some air. Prior tasting was at the Muga winery in Haro, Rioja.
Consistent with prior notes. Red/garnet color. Nice nose right from the bottle - dark fruits, plums, earth and oak. Palate repeats with dried cherry, anise, leather, herbs, vanilla
Medium, elegant finish. Great traditional Rioja style wine. still evolving, it will be interesting to drink and see how it evolves in coming years.

I had 1981 Prado Enea this past Summer in San Sebastian that was still gorgeous...

Muga is an undiscussioned great winery in Rioja.
Traditional for many, with a modern look for a few.
1981? Fantastic year for Prado Enea. You were lucky indeed.
Recently I've bought half case of 1981 Muga Crianza. Low expectations cause is ONLY a Crianza range? Rethink it :-)
Cheers!
