Muga Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2015

Produced in what Isaac Muga calls the ‘super vintage’ of 2015, this is one of the great Prado Eneas, a wine that falls just short of perfection. Sourced from the cool zone close to the Montes Obarenes, it’s a stunning, age-worthy cuvée of Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha and 5% Mazuelo, aged in French and American oak. Combining structure with finesse, this is concentrated, chalky yet refreshing with wonderful precision and palate length. Drink date: 2028-2040. [To enjoy tonight, decant for one hour.] Score – 99.
