Note di degustazione
Not far behind the 2013, the 2014 Gran Enemigo El Cepillo Single Vineyard has the same aromatic profile and a complex nose, perhaps with a tad less intensity and complexity, with those recurring aromas of saffron, thyme, lemongrass, curry and cereals. However, the palate seems a little more refined and polished and the oak better integrated, with very fine, elegant tannins and supple, tasty flavors. 4,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2017.

(13.9% alcohol, with a very low pH of 3.43): Full, bright ruby. A classic dark expression of Cabernet Franc on the nose, with aromas of blackberry, cassis, bitter chocolate and licorice lifted by musky limestone minerality. Wonderfully broad and savory, showing a strong dark chocolate quality and terrific palate coverage while remaining light on its feet. This very suave wine finishes broad and very long, with serious but edge-free tannins and subtle sweetness. Amazingly palate-staining considering that it was made from six-year-old vines. This is clearly an outstanding site for Cabernet Franc.
Informazioni sul produttore
El Enemigo has quickly become one of Argentina’s top wine estates, specialising in high-altitude, single-vineyard Cabernet Franc cuvées and Bordeaux blends. They also produce a range of single-vineyard cuvées from the lesser-known variety Bonarda.
