95 points Virginie Boone (Jebdunnuck.com): "The 2022 Cabernet Franc is high-toned, fresh, and mineral-driven, with supple tannin and unobtrusive oak. Medium-bodied, it's well put together and a screaming value for the modest price. This will age well given its natural mouthwatering acidity and firm structure; cellar through 2037. Drink 2025-2037. (05/22/25)."
93+ points Matthew Luczy (Wine Advocate): "Sourced from Gualtallary's Adrianna Vineyard, the 2022 Cabernet Franc contains 10% Malbec and underwent a 60-day maceration and aged for 15 months in a mix of foudre, barrique and tank. Opening with a dark-fruited, floral and spice-inflected nose, the palate offers dramatic richness tempered by a sturdy, upright, mineral-driven core. It concludes with an explosive, long and layered finish that balances vibrant energy and staining intensity. This is a strikingly overperforming example of the variety that should develop beautifully in the cellar. Drink 2024-2032. (05/01/25)."
92 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Cabernet Franc is the red grape with which the El Enemigo brand is mostly commonly associated, although it’s blended here with 10% Malbec, its Gualtallary stablemate. Classic cut grass, rocket and fennel aromas guide you gently into a palate of plum, black cherry and stony minerality framed by sculpted tannins. 2026-2033. (2025)."
