Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard 2012
Descripción
"Este vino casi me hace caer de la silla". Con estas palabras abre su crítica Luis Gutiérrez, que quedó totalmente prendado de este tinto de Cabernet franc y Malbec. Según cuenta se le vino a la memoria su vino favorito de Burdeos, Lafleur, gracias a su refinamiento, elegancia y longitud.

The nose of the 2012 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard almost made me fall from my chair. It is the expression of elegance and austerity coupled with strong minerality. It is mostly Cabernet Franc from a very chalky vineyard in Gualtallary at 1,430 meters altitude that fermented together with a small percentage of Malbec. In 2012 they fine tuned the élevage and fermentation, which was in rolling 500-liter barrels that were new in 2006 (so by then quite neutral), where the wine was kept for one more year and then transferred to 1,000-liter egg-shaped cement vats for one further year. This reminded me of my favorite Bordeaux, Lafleur, because of the elegance, the refinement of the tannins and length. It has citric, effervescent acidity that makes you salivate. Winemaker and Owner Alejandro Vigil has done a very strict selection of the soils in the field, and only kept the very center of the vineyard where the high density (12,000 plants per hectare) generates a lot of competition, because the plants from the borders have more space in the sides, which means in 2012 he could only fill 1,800 bottles. Awesome, and ultra fresh for a vintage like 2012. Bravo!
Incredible depth of aromas of black mushrooms, wet earth, and dark fruits. Full body, super silky tannins and a refined finish. It lasts for minutes on the palate. A thought-provoking wine that makes you think. Glorious. Drink now or hold for ages.
Showing well for its vintage, with a certain seriousness and austerity, this is a beautiful expression of Gualtallary, brimming with spicy and herbal black fruit.

100 PUNTOS BIEN MERECIDOS
Por una vez estoy de acuerdo con las puntuaciones. Este vinazo lo tiene todo y siendo un bebé todavía es un fuera de serie.
Complejo, sutil, elegante. Buena acidez. Madera integrada y taninos pulidos. En un momento óptimo para su consumo.
Es un vino sublime, embriagador, dulce, cálido, muy complejo... Comprendo que haya quien no esté preparado para "entenderlo" y disfrutarlo.
Ni se merece la puntuación ni el precio(suena a fraude),la persona que dio la puntuación bebió otro vino
