Bodega Aleanna 'El Enemigo Description
El Enemigo Bonarda is intense and complex, with aromas of ripe berries, black cherries, chocolate, spice, and fresh herbs. The palate presents concentrated flavors of ripe black and red fruits, licorice, and vanilla. Its silky tannins and refreshing acidity linger in the persistent finish. Certified Sustainable by Bodegas de Argentina.
Enjoy this wine alongside roasted lamb, empanadas, and light pasta dishes.
James Suckling: 93 Points
A deep, stony, mineral bonarda with red cherries, blue fruit, graphite and some grilled herbs. Tight and juicy on the palate with firm but resolved tannins and a long, linear finish. Lovely austerity here. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
Despite having similar alcohol levels and acidity and freshness parameters, the 2020 Bonarda comes through as riper than the 2019 I tasted next to it. It reveals some earthy tannins and a faint rusticity, inherent to the variety.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Winemaker Alejandro Vigil added a dash of Cabernet Franc to this 85% Bonarda. The result is a full-bodied red that offers concentrated notes of berry jam and licorice on the nose and palate. The wine’s fruit-forward character includes red berries mixed with subtle notes of thyme alongside good acidity.
