97 points from Suckling:
This is another rock-star chardonnay from here with dried-apple, pear-skin, crushed-stone and peach-pit character.
Full body. Creamy texture. Phenolic form and a long, flavorful finish.
95 (and “Chardonnay of the Year”) from British wine writer Tim Atkin:
Jura was the influence and inspiration for this stunning Chardonnay, aged under flor. Leesy, racy, saline and yeasty, with a core of acidity, subtle oak and a long, tapering finish. A boundary-pushing white for Argentina.”
Tanzer, who rates this 2018 the best Enemigo yet, describes it beautifully and in detail:
A Chardonnay from Gualtallary that underwent a carefully calibrated ageing process developed by the winemaker Alejandro Vigil: 500 liters French oak barrels, 35% new, mixed with increasing quantities of flor. Golden yellow in color, the 2018 Chardonnay El Enemigo combines aromas of pear and apple with hazelnuts, toffee and a touch of acacia. Creamy with intense flavors, the film lends a dryness in stark contrast to the ingenious structure that enhances the firm acidity and lengthy, hazelnut finish. A technical, original white inspired by the more forward thinking parts of Burgundy and California with more than a nod to Jura as well.
