El Enemigo Bonarda 2020

Recensie

"A deep, stony, mineral bonarda with red cherries, blue fruit, graphite and some grilled herbs. Tight and juicy on the palate with firm but resolved tannins and a long, linear finish. Lovely austerity here. Drink or hold."
James Suckling: 93/100

"Respecting the flavors of sweet black fruit (those jammy blackberries) that are typical of the variety, this El Enemigo has a certain nervy acidity and a good texture of sharp tannins that contribute a sensation of freshness and tension. The herbal aromas have the final word in a bonarda for blood sausage. This comes from the El Mirador zone, from vineyards that are more than 100 years old. It was aged for 15 months in foudres."
Descorchados: 92/100

"Despite having similar alcohol levels and acidity and freshness parameters, the 2020 Bonarda comes through as riper than the 2019 I tasted next to it. It reveals some earthy tannins and a faint rusticity, inherent to the variety."
Robert Parker: 91/100

"Winemaker Alejandro Vigil added a dash of Cabernet Franc to this 85% Bonarda. The result is a full-bodied red that offers concentrated notes of berry jam and licorice on the nose and palate. The wine's fruit-forward character includes red berries mixed with subtle notes of thyme alongside good acidity."
