f you have been succeeding our newsletters - and we prospect you have - we just now featured a strange Brunello di Montalcino by Scopetone stressing its juvenile friendliness spell lifeless holding the characteristics of a vino well over and done its age. We idolised that alcoholic beverage and found its Spanish equivalent, the 1998 Bodegas Muga Prado Enea Gran Reserva; this enticing red sees one yr in volumed oak vats, iii old age in new Bordeaux barriques and a minimal of three old age in carafe.

Traditional in style, this wine evokes Burgundy with its veneration to terroir allowing Temperanillo (the prominent edible fruit varietal in Rioja) to truly phrase the land, soil, environmental condition and everything that is Rioja. There is a lean, pale, chromatic and vanilla smell that is remindful of sickly and rancid cherries in the mouth, near moral sour and overripe - but not overpowering - tannins.

Though latterly released, this alcohol is newly now entering its prime. It's mature yet fresh, soigne yet grand and ladened corporeal next to a extended ending. The 1996 accepted 92 points from Robert Parker, Jr. and the 1998 is all bit the inebriant and more. Graceful adequate to draft near fish - say an swordfish cut or salmon, this Tempranillo has adequate anchor to too hook up with next to a porc chop, venison or duck. This wine will gain from decanting. Try not to go on the town it all in one sitting - we dare you.
