Description

Vintage & Background
The 2006 vintage in Rioja produced deeply concentrated fruit with freshness and structure well suited to long ageing. Prado Enea represents Bodegas Muga’s most traditional Gran Reserva, assembled only in years of exceptional quality and matured extensively in oak vats and barrels before bottling. The wine is a classic expression of Rioja Alta, reflecting both terroir and the house’s longstanding dedication to traditional methods.

Appearance & Nose
In the glass it shows a deep ruby core with subtle garnet edges, hinting at its evolving maturity. The nose is richly layered, combining ripe dark fruit with tertiary notes. Aromas of redcurrant, dried cherry, pipe tobacco, rose oil, and cedar mingle with hints of leather, spice, and forest floor, framed by nuanced oak influence.

Palate & Texture
On the palate the wine is medium-to-full bodied with vibrant energy and finely tuned balance. Red and dark fruit flavours — plum, cherry and bramble — combine with savoury elements of tobacco, licorice and gentle spice. Tannins are firm yet polished, acidity lively and well integrated, leading to a long, harmonious finish marked by complexity and finesse.

Maturity & Drinking Window
Now in a beautifully mature phase, the 2006 Prado Enea is expressive and accessible while still showing fine structure and depth. Many bottles are drinking very well now, and with ideal cellaring — cool, stable conditions — can continue to evolve gracefully for several more years.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Serve at 16–18 °C, ideally decanted for 60–90 minutes to allow aromas and flavours to open fully. Pair with rich game dishes, roast lamb with herbs, aged Manchego, or slow-braised beef — all of which complement the wine’s depth, savoury complexity, and graceful tannic structure.

Overall Verdict
A superb example of traditional Rioja Gran Reserva, the 2006 Prado Enea combines ripe fruit intensity with savoury nuance, balanced acidity, and refined tannins. Complex, age-worthy and classically elegant, it stands as one of Muga’s most revered vintages — a richly rewarding wine for both collectors and seasoned Rioja drinkers.
