"El Gran Enemigo Agrelo Single Vineyard 2018 comes from a Catena winery vineyard, with deep clayey soils irrigated only once. The vineyard usually produces very regular wines that soften the effects of the vintage and have a moderate alcohol content (this one has a 13.5%), good measure and very good freshness. In Agrelo, you always get spices, cloves and herbs, berries and flowers, and the élevage provides some toasty and smoky nuances. It's tasty and has very fine tannins. It's mostly Cabernet Franc , mentioned on the label, but also contains 15% Malbec that matured in an old oak foudre for 15 months. In July 2019, 7,200 bottles were filled." Luis Gutierrez 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 Try after 2023." james suckling
