My experience with Prado Enea (and Muga in general) is that they are not built for the very long age.

A few years ago I purchased a pristine bottle of one of their first vintages (early 70's) coming from the winery to one chain of high end food shops. And it was barely correct.

Lately, I received a few bottles of Prado Enea from the 80's. They came from a private cellar from someone that was advised not to drink anymore so he sold his cellar full of mature Rioja and I was one of the parts in the purchase.

Both bottles that I have opened were almost dead, unfortunately.

However, Prado Enea is usually very good when released and I like it that way.
