  These are so underrated. Often the case with Rioja. The great thing about Prado Enea, is that it never seems to close, it just gets better. The balance is mind blowing - so fresh, so complex and so elegant. Decanted for 1.5 hrs.

  Nicely done. Nice integration of medium intensity fruit, acidity and tannin. Not too much oak. Long life ahead. The standout from Muga’s lineup.

  Using WSET 3 system:
  Medium ruby, medium + intensity on nose
  On nose - red cherry, strawberry, red apple peel, rose, cinnamon, baking spice, vanilla, tar, touch of green pepper, prune, black pepper, szechuan peppercorn, meat, plum, tobacco.
  Developing
  Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ tannin, high alcohol, full body
  Flavor intensity is pronounced
  Flavors - echoes nose with more notes of vanilla, cinnamon
  Finish - long
  BLIC - gets all 4 - outstanding
  Drink now, suitable for further aging
  
  This is a really nice wine. I have disliked many Rioja in the past but not this one. Well balanced. I think a wine like this really needs a lot of age. Drinking very well now.

  Dark, brooding wine. Notes of cherries, vanilla and sandalwood. Excellent!

  Consumed two bottles over a spicy hotpot with friends, so no formal notes. But from memory, this is a very traditional Rioja, quite deep red and beautifully balanced. There are no signs of age, just gorgeous mellowness (if that's a word). This has everything I could want from a Rioja Gran Reserva. I would expect this to hold good for another 10 years.
