A masterfully crafted Gran Reserva showcasing Rioja's traditional elegance at its peak.

The 2016 Prado Enea opens with compelling aromas of dried Morello cherries interwoven with cedar shavings and pressed violet petals. On the palate, concentrated fig compote mingles beautifully with fine-grained tannins, while tobacco leaf and vanilla bean provide sophisticated backbone. The finish reveals layers of exotic spices and leather, demonstrating the wine's impeccable barrel aging. This vintage shows remarkable harmony between fruit intensity and traditional Rioja refinement, with decades of evolution ahead.
