Bodegas Muga Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2016 (14.5%)

A red wine from Spain's Rioja Alta, made by Bodegas Muga, founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga and Martinez in Haro's Station District. It is a traditional Rioja blend of 80% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, 5% Graciano and 5% Grenache. The grapes are the last picked and come from high-altitude plots. The wine ages for at least 36 months in French and American oak casks, then receives a light fining with fresh egg whites and a further 36 months of bottle refinement before release. It shows black cherry, forest fruits, dark plums, violets, walnuts, leather, clove, cinnamon and smoky tobacco on the nose, with black cherry, blackberry, liquorice and cassis on the palate, finishing with creamy vanilla, cocoa powder, lavender and sweet wood spices.
