El Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary 2019

Score 100 Robert Parker - 100 James Suckling

It’s not often that a wine receives a perfect score from two of the world’s most respected critics. But that’s exactly what happened with Gran Enemigo Gualtallary 2019, with 100-point ratings from both Robert Parker and James Suckling. Don’t miss your chance to savour the magic of this incredible vintage.

“The incredibly subtle, elegant and austere Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard 2019 reminds me of a great vintage from Lafleur, my favourite Bordeaux, as this is one of the best vintages for this single vineyard blend of Cabernet Franc with 15% Malbec. It develops very slowly in the glass and shows layers and layers of aromas but all very subtly. It also reminds me of the fabulous 2013 that I scored 100 points in 2018, and there hasn’t been a vintage as perfect since. It has great balance and a silky mouthfeel, with refined and elegant tannins and a long, dry finish with a chalky, salty feel with no hint of sweetness – it’s more about herbs, flowers and rocks than anything else. They produced 9,000 bottles of this beauty. It was bottled in July 2020.” Luis Gutierrez - The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker
