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!
