94 points Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous): "The 2020 Malbec also includes 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, sourced from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. It was aged for 15 months in foudres, resulting in a purple color. The nose presents plums, violets, sage and bitter orange. Dry and juicy on the palate, it moves with a nimble flow lifted by balanced acidity. The apparent absence of tannins contributes to its voluminous and weightless mouthfeel. Drink: 2023-2035. (Jun 2023)"

92 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Malbec shows a little more generous, reflecting a warmer and dry year, with black fruit, spices and herbs, a medium to full-bodied palate and some chalky tannins. It has grip and should do well with food. It matured in 100-year-old foudres for 15 months. Drink: 2022-2027. (11/30/22)"

92 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Plush, ripe, supple and textured, El Enemigo’s Malbec also contains 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Very lightly wooded in older oak, it has succulent blackberry fruit, some tannic grip and a spicy, savoury finish from 100% whole bunches. 2023-2028. (2023)"

92 points James Suckling: "Ripe black cherries, spice, lavender and stones to the nose. Dusty, firm tannins on the flavorful, medium- to full-bodied palate, showing excellent mid-palate tension. Drink or hold. (3/24/23)"
