95 points Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas (Jamessuckling.com): "This has blackberries, asphalt, violets and subtle wood on the nose. The palate is angular, sharp and precise, with lots character, a touch of pepper and a focused finish. Drink now. (03/24/25)."
94 points Virginie Boone (Jebdunnuck.com): "There's an inviting nose of pure plum fruit and fresh cherry in the 2022 Malbec, which shows lovely balance and a supple, smooth texture. It has a kick of power around its medium-bodied frame that never overwhelms but makes for a lengthy finish of memorable spice and herb. Enjoy through 2032. Drink 2025-2032. (05/22/25)."
92 points Matthew Luczy (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Malbec hails from Adrianna Vineyard, contains 10% Cabernet Franc and was fermented entirely whole clusters before maturing for 15 months in foudre, tank and barrel. The bouquet starts with a poised interplay between herbal and floral elements, with a core of black fruits, followed by a rich, fluid and seamless palate. It concludes with an intensely savory, earth-tinged finish framed with grippy, refined tannins. Drink 2024-2030. (05/01/25)."
90 points Tim Atkin, MW: "The basic El Enemigo Malbec has done wonders for both the variety and the image of the Uco Valley, both in Argentina and overseas. Co-fermented with 10% Cabernet Franc, this was picked in five different stages to build layers of flavour in the resulting wine. Floral, juicy and sappy, it has fine-grained tannins and layers of bramble, tarragon and black cherry. 2025-2029. (2025)."
