Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Agrelo

Scores : 97 James Suckling - 96 Robert Parker

"The Gran Enemigo Agrelo Single Vineyard comes from a vineyard in the Catena winery, with deep clay soils irrigated only once. The vineyard usually produces very regular wines that cushion the effects of the vintage and have a moderate alcoholic level (this one has a 13 .5%), good restraint and very good freshness. In Agrelo, you always get spices, cloves and herbs, berries and flowers, and the élevage provides some toasted and smoky nuances. It is tasty and has very fine tannins. mentioned on the label, but it also contains 15% Malbec that matured in an old oak foudre for 15 months." Luis Gutiérrez for Wine Advocate - Robert Parker

"Fresh raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, pine needles, thyme, sandalwood and cloves on the nose. Medium-bodied with a very fine and precise tannic framework. Focused, compact and still so youthful. More mineral and dry spice notes on the finish ." James Suckling
