Proefnotitie
Donker kersenrood met granaatrode reflecties schittert in het glas, de neus ontvangt een rijk bouquet van bloesem, bessen en vanillenuancen. In de mond toont de gran reserva wat hij in zijn mars heeft, met indrukwekkende complexiteit, textuur en evenwicht, met aroma’s van rijp rood fruit, een verfijnde houttoon, subtiele tabaknuances, zoetige kruidige hints en stevige tannines.

The most classical of their wines, the 2015 Prado Enea Gran Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, mostly from Rioja Alta (Sajazarra, Cellorigo and Fonzaleche), but the Garnacha is from different plots in the zone of Tudelilla at high altitude. These grapes are always picked last, but the wine has a similar alcohol level as the rest, around 14.5% in a warm year like 2019. The modus operandi is similar to other of the top cuvées—harvested into 200-kilogram boxes, destemming, optical sorting and fermentation in small oak casks with indigenous yeasts. The élevage in this case is extended to 36 months, and the barrels are only 10% new. This is, year in, year out, my favorite wine from Muga, and in this powerful and ripe year, these late-harvesting vines ripened thoroughly and delivered a full array of aromas and flavors so that the wine has plenty of depth and complexity. It has a very classical profile, with incipient tertiary notes, perfumed, floral and rich, textured and beautifully balanced. They compare this 2015 with 2009 and 2005 in terms of style but with freshness in the style of 2001 and 2010. It's enjoyable but should also develop for a long time in bottle. One of the finest Prado Enea vintages.

Reserved and polished, this is a Prado Enea with great class and focus. It’s so aromatic,with plum, peach, cherry and cedar character. Salted olives, too. Medium-to full-bodied with very fine tannins and a long, fresh finish. Elegance with power here.

De wijn
De meeste tempranillo-, garnacha- mazuelo- en graciano-druiven voor deze premium blend groeien in de Rioja Alta (Sajazarra, Cellorigo en Fonzaleche), een gedeelte garnacha komt uit Tudelilla van een hooggelegen wijngaard. In 200 kg-kuipen worden de druiven geoogst, ontsteeld, met de hand gesorteerd en in kleine eikenhouten vaten met lokale gisten gefermenteerd. De driejarige rijping geschiedt eveneens op eiken.
