EL ENEMIGO Syrah/Viognier - Mendoza 2019/20 Bottle (los)

Description

JAMES SUCKLING 94 Points
"The magic of El Enemigo is often about the tension and the “bulge” in the center palate and this syrah is no exception. The spices, mineral and floral edge to the nose complements the ripe berries. The palate is all about texture, tautness and chalky tannins. Dusty, elegant and long. Delicious now but can hold well, too."

"Drinking Window: 2023 - 2040 - This aromatic rendition of Syrah, with 8% Viognier, from Alejandro Vigil is one of the growing collection of exciting and ageworthy Syrah wines from the Uco Valley. Aged in 100-year-old foudres, the tannins are resolved and the perfume is elegant. Juicy and spiced, it’s a wine that drinks well now but will cellar, too."
