El Enemigo Malbec 2014

Professional Ratings

• 92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2014 El Enemigo Malbec is mostly Malbec, with some 15% of Cabernet Franc from Gualtallary, harvested from three different plots of vines over four different points in time—depending on the composition of the soil. The earlier grapes fermented with full clusters and the later ones were destemmed and crushed. It has a subtle, elegant nose with perfect ripeness, not showing the heat of the year, with the Cabernet Franc providing some sharper tannins. It's very clean and focused, developing a note of graphite as it sat in the glass. It feels like 2014 was really a good vintage for high altitude parts of the Valle de Uco, perhaps better than 2013 and 2015.

  Intense dried fruits and liquorice lead to a lovely vanilla oak and dark cherry character. Soft, polished and long.
• 90 Wine Spectator
  A fresh and zesty style, with concentrated crushed red fruit and blackberry flavors backed by crisp acidity. Offers a focused and pure finish, showing elegant notes of chocolate truffle and spice.
• 90 James Suckling
  A soft and salty red with plum and berry character. Medium body, round texture and a flavorful finish. Drink now.
