Bodega Aleanna 'Gran Enemigo' El Cepillo Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2018 Chateau Musar modern and elegantThe nose of the 2018 Gran Enemigo El Cepillo Single Vineyard, from a low yielding and drier year, is full of curry, a note that was a constant across the three vintages I tasted together, but it tends to be stronger in low yielding and dry years like this. It's also floral and comes through as aromatic and a little exotic, in a good way, with elegance, persistence and very pure flavors. It has fine grained tannins, great acidity and balance. 7,200
