Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2020 Gran Enemigo Agrelo Single Vineyard is a blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Malbec from a 40-year-old vineyard by the Catena winery. It fermented in concrete and some barrels and matured in large old foudres for 15 months. It has 13.5% alcohol and good freshness. At Agrelo, you always get spices, clove and herbs, berries and flowers, and the élevage provides some toasted and smoky undertones. This is tasty and with very fine tannins. It's mostly Cabernet Franc, mentioned on the label, but it also contains 15% Malbec that matured in two ancient oak foudres for 15 months. 7,200 bottles were filled July 2021.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
This takes some time to open up but is broad and generous when it does, with spicy details to the berry preserve core, followed by a wealth of herbal tones that gather and linger around minerally accents and pleasing tannins. Drink now through 2036.
