97pts, Victoria Mason: “Lifted and immediately expressive on the nose with beautifully intense aromas of dried rose petals and rosemary, ripe red berry fruit, cedar spice and woodsmoke. More restrained and tightly packed on the palate; mouthcoating powdery tannins and energetic, refreshing acidity balancing the deeply concentrated fruit. Elegant and self-composed, but with quiet power on the long and compelling, focused finish. Another classical beauty of a Prado Enea and undoubtedly for the long haul. Drink from 2025 to 2050.”
96+pts, Robert Mathias: “Classical in the best sense, the 2016 Prado Enea is poised and refined from start to finish. Sandalwood, roasted earth and grilled herbs meet with delicate floral notes of crushed red flowers. There is a mouth-watering focus on the start of the palate showing red berries and fresh strawberries and firm powdery tannins carry this focus all the way to the finish giving power and direction. There is no excess to the wine - tight and focused it will develop so elegantly over the coming 30 years.”

Complex aromas of dark fruit with violets, walnuts and chocolate. Classy. It's full-bodied with plush yet fine velvety tannins, and a precise and pointed finish. Juicy and savory. Tight finish. It's very long. This is beautiful now but will be even better in three or four years. Linear and vertical at the same time. Try after 2026.
