Gran Enemigo 2017
Descripción
Alejandro Virgil cuenta que este tinto es elaborado "al viejo estilo de Pomerol, donde la Cabernet franc se mezclaba con otras variedades de Burdeos". En este caso se acompaña de Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Petit verdot y por supuesto Malbec. Nariz redonda con recuerdos especiados y de fruta negra, con un gusto cautivador y persistente. Medalla de plata en los Decanter World Wine 2021.

Opinión de los críticos
The blend 2017 Gran Enemigo was produced with 50% Malbec, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot from Gualtallary and feels very creamy and undeveloped, ripe without excess but reflecting the warmer and drier year. The blend of grapes has produced a rounder and mellower wine, gentler but still with a very low pH and very good acidity with a dry, chalky-driven finish. This is more open and approachable than the rest of Gran Enemigo from this vintage. It fermented completely destemmed in barrel—it's the only Gran Enemigo that was destemmed, as the rest were 100% full clusters in 2017—and matured in ancient oak foudre. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2018.
A refined, medium-to full-bodied red with aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate, violets, tar and tobacco. Ultra fine tannins, interwoven with silky and seamless layers of dark berries. So elegant and fine. Long. Serious and focused with fantastic depth and structure. Drink or hold.
Crunchy dark black fruit with some lovely spicy underlying aromas in the most subtle of ways. Dense and opulent mid-palate.

El mejor vino argentino que he probado, muy bueno, aunque no volvería a comprarlo por este precio

Magnifico. Joya. He comprado la variante “single ...” en otra plataforma que será la leche. El gran enemigo es tener una leyenda en neverita
