Gran Enemigo Chacayes Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2018

The 2018 Cabernet Franc Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Los Chacayes contains 15% Malbec and spent 18 months in foudres. Dark garnet red in the glass. The nose presents notes of herbs, mint and touches of blackberry and blackcurrant with hints of jam and ash. Broad and taut in the mouth with a vigorous flow and good volume and freshness. It’s full bodied with long-lasting flavor. A superlatively balanced wine that wears its heft and concentration lightly. Drinking window: 2024-2035. Score – 96. (Joaquín Hidalgo, vinous.com, Nov. 2022)
