EL ENEMIGO |
| EL ENEMIGO continues to dazzle me with the outstanding quality of its recent releases. This REPEAT was the first Argentine Semillon to appear in Vintages and again it’s A REAL WINNER. Aged for 15 months French oak (10% new, 90% used) with wild yeasts, it has a bright light straw colour. The nose is intense and complex with lots of cedary, faintly nutty, lemon-apple meringue fruit. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, slightly spicy, intense, ripe, lemon-apple meringue flavours with a lingering, cedary, buttery, bright finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with a new lot number L-M494 3-22043 on the back label. We polished off a bottle at TABULE Queen on August 27 with their delicious Lamb Chops! Only 474 bottles available so move quickly. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This has rich, lemon and lightly grassy aromas in a very fresh, pure and focused mode. Some freshpastry and chalky notes, too. The palate is succulent and piercing. Some smooth, lees-derived texture sits nicely around the fresh, lemon flavor with pastry-like resolve. Impressive textural complexity really makes this special. Drink over the next six years.
