Gran Enemigo Gualtallary 2018

- 96 points -

A savage example of Gualtallary, nearly 1,500 meters up in the northern Uco Valley. This is rich in herbal tones, as is dictated by the dominant variety (cabernet franc), especially if you consider that at this altitude, with the cool Andean conditions, that side is exacerbated. This is a perfumed and juicy red with savage tannins, as is usual in this zone, and the acidity corresponds to a mountain wine. This is 85% cabernet franc, and the rest is malbec, all aged in foudres for 15 months.
