Prado Enea Gran Reserva 2005
Spain
About the SessionRioja anchors the Spanish session with a depth and breadth that rewards both traditionalists and modern-style enthusiasts. La Rioja Alta is the most extensively represented producer, with Gran Reserva 904 spanning multiple vintages and formats, alongside the classic Reservas - Viña Ardanza, Viña Alberdi, and Viña Arana. Beyond Rioja, Sierra Cantabria delivers some of the most sought-after names in the sale. Their single-vineyard Amancio across 2002 and 2007, the Finca El Bosque, and the Colección Privada 2003 represent the very top of the Rioja hierarchy.

Critics Ratings
“Chocolate, black fruit, poised and broad; has the physique of a boxer but the balance of an acrobat. Traditional Rioja flavours with serious structure.” - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Dec 2015)
“The 2005 Prado Enea Gran Reserva seems to be evolving at a glacial pace. It has a much more developed nose, a lot more tertiary, with notes of truffles and forest floor, smoky and spicy with a touch of cured meat, iodine and brick dust. It should continue aging effortlessly for years.” - Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 95+/100 (Feb 2025)
“Having evolved greater complexity, it delivers aromas of undergrowth, dried herbs, Maraschino cherry, quince and dried fig. Silky and fresh on the palate, with fine tannins and elegantly aged flavors, this is subtle, dry and quietly persistent.” - Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, 95/100 (May 2025)
