Bonarda 2022, El Enemigo

Dark and rich, this wine is very expressive on the nose immediately. Straight away, one smells black currants, cassis, potpourri, blueberries, sweet tobacco and cinnamon. It’s a very complex and intoxicating mix! On the palate, the wine is very dry and bold, with good fruit expression but less so than on the nose. The palate offers black currant, blueberry, blackberry, baking spice and herbal notes alongside medium tannins and a juicy level of acidity. There is a slight sweetness to this wine that comes through somewhat unexpectedly given its overall weight and structure. This is definitely a dense and intense wine – the affect of the oak aging is immediately evident.
