Score: 95 pts - Descorchados

Gran Enemigo Red Blend 2022 is the flagship blend of El Enemigo, crafted by Alejandro Vigil at Bodega Aleanna, his partnership with Adrianna Catena. Malbec leads the blend, supported by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. It shows ripe blackberry and black cherry with violets, mountain herbs and a graphite edge, framed by fine tannins and bright acidity that carry into a long, savory finish.

“Blue fruit with blackberries, violets, white roses and a touch of curry. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Rather reserved on the palate, with a bright edge. Drink now or hold.” — James Suckling
