Bodegas Muga - Prado Enea - Gran Reserva - Rioja DOCa - 2006 - 750ml - Muga

The 2006 Prado Enea is a phenomenal bottle of traditional Rioja at its best. The grapes are sourced from higher-altitude terraced plots where the climate is cooler and drier, and the soils are rich in clay. This is a wine that is not automatically produced every year. The wine spends its elevate in oak containers of different size, origin, and age for no less than three years. The nose is intoxicating with a superb mixture of tertiary and more primary aromas like old furniture, cloves, cracked pepper, incense and cigar ash plus cherries in liqueur. The palate is medium-bodied, with great freshness, acidity, and balance, with a silky texture, ultra-fine tannins and great persistence and length.
