Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard 2015
Descripción
Pocos vinos pueden presumir de haber conquistado en cuerpo y alma a los catadores de Parker. Luis Gutiérrez, quedó totalmente prendado de este tinto parcelario elaborado con una Cabernet franc y Malbec cultivada a más de 1.400 metros de altitud. No pudo más que rendirse y otorgarle los codiciadísimos 100 puntos Parker en su añada 2013 y desde ese momento lo lanzó al estrellato de los vinos leyenda. Según cuenta, se le vino a la memoria su vino favorito de Burdeos, Lafleur, gracias a su refinamiento, elegancia y longitud.

Opinión de los críticos
Powerful places tend to mark wines in a stronger way than even the vintage conditions or the grape variety, and that seems to be the case with the 2015 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard. But of course there are elements of both the year—slightly warmer and riper than 2016—and the grape—mostly Cabernet Franc with some 20% Malbec, which is what is planted in the vineyard, with the logical variations depending on the yields of each grape in a given vintage. This is a little more direct than the 2016, powerful and concentrated but balanced and fresh, and it has a little more tannin. As I said, this is more about the high altitude and austere place with all the components in great harmony. You do not notice the alcohol, concentration of tannins or acidity, as it's all very integrated. All these wines are not about fruit but about soils, about rocks. 3,000 bottles produced.
This is such a fabulous red with ripe berries, blackberries and hints of dried mushrooms and black tea. Full body and crystalline tannins that carry the wine on for minutes. Energetic and takes off like a rocket. Extreme, great wine. Drink or hold.
With 85% Cabernet Franc and the rest Malbec, all from Adrianna’s calcareous soils, the fruits here feel red and refreshing, decorated by herbal tones accentuating that freshness. Contrasting with that exuberance, the texture is firm and rigid, with those typical tannins of the area.

100 PUNTOS BIEN MERECIDOS
Por una vez estoy de acuerdo con las puntuaciones. Este vinazo lo tiene todo y siendo un bebé todavía es un fuera de serie.
