97 points,"So elegant and fine. Long. Serious and focussed with fantastic depth and structure."- James Suckling 96 points,"In the mouth, it's intense with a vigorous flow and firm, tannic structure in which the freshness and concentration help to create an easy-going but substantial style before the lengthy finish, which is full of nuanced aromas."- Antonio Galloni's Vinous They say,"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."El Enemigo, meaning'the enemy', is a winery you're going to want to keep very close and share with only the closest of friends. Gran Enemigo Red Blend is combo of 50% Malbec, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from Gualtallary in Tupungato and 10% Petit Verdot from Agrelo in Luján de Cuyo. Probably the most approachable wine in the Gran Enemigo range, it's mellow and creamy with notes of blackberry, plum jam, redcurrant, Earl Grey tea, dark chocolate, coffee, mint, tobacco and vanilla. Consider pairing it with Sunday's roast beef, Turkish grills, baked cheese dishes or an Ethiopian beyaynetu. El Enemigo is a cult Argentinian winery. It's a partnership between soil expert Alejandro Vigil (Director of Winemaking at the iconic Bodega Catena Zapata) and Adrianna Catena (sister of the Managing Director and fourth-generation vintner at Bodega Catena Zapata, Dr Laura Catena). The idea was formed in 2009, while the two strolled back along the River Thames after a party at the Embassy of Argentina in London where Nicolás Catena Zapata - Adrianna's father and the man who put Argentinian wine on the world map - had just been awarded Decanter Man of the Year. They decided to create a winery that respected traditions but rejected the status quo, for example employing 100-year-old Alsatian oak foudres imported directly from Italy, but also the more fashionable concrete eggs. Inspired by a mutual love of old-school Pomerol and Château Cheval Blanc, the focus was to be cool-climate, high-altitude Cabernet Franc - at this point it's worth noting that some of their vineyards are nearly 1.5km above sea level. This was a pretty rebellious and radical concept, because all anybody wanted to talk about at the time was Malbec from Argentina. We love this kind of renegade thinking, especially when the wines taste this good.£7.33 per 100.00ml
