El Enemigo As Bravas Malbec 2016

Deze Malbec van topkwaliteit komt van een perceel van 1,7 hectare met ongeënte wijnstokken in El Cepillo, hoog in de Uco Valleien en komt uit het koelste wijnjaar van de afgelopen 30 jaar. De wijn rijpte 64 maanden in oude foudre, gevolgd door 1 jaar in de fles voor de release. Zeer beperkt beschikbaar!
Parker: 99/100
There is a new top of the range produced with pure Malbec from a very small plot in the Cordón El Cepillo. It's a cool place with a small slope in a mostly flat vineyard with very different soils and angular stones in a place that has glacier moraine, which is completely different from the rest of the vineyard. It makes the grapes ripen much earlier and gives a very strict and stony wine with a textured palate with abundant dusty tannins. 2016 was a super cold and rainy year, and the 2016 As Bravas Malbec has only 12.5% alcohol and incredible freshness. It's only medium-bodied with gobsmacking balance and is incredibly harmonious, nuanced and subtle, with all that it needs for a very long life in bottle. This is serious, tight, austere and incredibly elegant. It matured in 2,000-liter oak foudres for some 60 months. It was bottled in April 2022.
