Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

El Enemigo, Malbec 2008, a bombastic malbec made to impress
El Enemigo, Malbec 2008, By Puerto Ancona, USD 40
A malbec small production made for Alejandro Vigil (chief winemaker of Catena) and Adriana Catena.
Rich and bombastic on the nose. Middle body with overt chocolate and bretty leather sweet and attractive. Somehow short and not quite complex for the price. Very seductive mostly by the syncronous chocolate and black berries compose. A 92 points malbec that looks like from Uco Valley and probably not better after 6 years old. Competitive and appropiate sample of Argentina´s malbecs made to impress most palates with chocolate and black fruits.
