- Review from https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/aleanna+el+enemigo+malbec+mendoza+argentina/1/usa-va-y#t3
- "The effects of the warm year are felt in this Malbec with its sweet fruits and gentle, soft tannins. The fresh acidity, doing its job of balancing that succulent maturity in a red to now uncork with charcuterie. This comes from vineyards at about 1,400 meters planted in the second half of the 1990s on lime and sandy soils." -Tasted in Jan 2023
Wine Folly
- I have not received the book yet, but as soon as I do, I will edit the blog post or simply look it up for my own knowledge.
Specific Characteristic
- I am not a super big red wine drinker. I snagged this bottle based off of my mom's recommendation. My friend and I drank a bottle at a restaurant (with no food, although next time I will be ordering food!) It is robust, full-bodied, and fragrant. I could taste hints of oakiness and even a hint of vanilla. It is one of the nicer Malbecs that I have drunk.
