muga, Rioja, Spain
This is a classic Gran riserva Rioja and its presented in a beautiful wooden six pack. Released when it is ready to drink ( a big bonus! ) and aged in large oak. A supremely elegant, complex red that has no hard edges. This is how great rioja used to be made.
" Deep red. A complex, heady bouquet of dried red berries, sandalwood, rose oil, black tea and licorice pastille. Smooth, focused and gently sweet cherry and raspberry flavors coat the palate, with gentle but integrated tannins providing shape. This silky, seamless wine finishes with a strong echo of candied flowers, spices and minerals."93/100 Tanzer
"The garnet-colored 2001 Prado Enea Gran Reserva exhibits aromas of wood smoke, vanilla, pencil lead, damp earth, and spice box. Firm and elegant, this racy, classically-styled Rioja can be enjoyed now but should drink well through 2021." 91 /100 Parker
