"The 1970 Prado Enea Gran Reserva, which would have included around 10% Viura, has a superb, vibrant bouquet with scents of lavender, dark chocolate and sage and a curious tincture of fried onions. The palate is amazingly fresh and vital with supple, fine tannins and sorbet-fresh, dark berry fruit mixed with bay leaf and cold black tea. The finish retains fine, robust tannins and the length is mightily impressive. Superb."

"The sweet raspberry fruit is fading at this point, replaced by spice, dried earth and leather notes offset by gorgeous menthol freshness on the finish and smoked, grilled aromatics that give a peaty feel. Long and complex, slowly makes its way through the palate. A high-altitude vineyard up at around 550m make this an extremely late ripening site, often into November before the final grapes come in, but no doubt helps maintain those notes of freshness that have kept it so full of life."
