Drink: 2007 - 2015
$18 (18)
Domaine Jean Bousquet has two notable values, a Malbec and a Chardonnay, listed in the Best Buy chart at the end of this report. A modest step up the price scale is the 2006 Malbec Reserva sourced from estate vineyards. It was aged for 8 months in French oak. Red violet in color, it has an enticing nose of cedar, leather, pencil lead, and black cherry. Medium-bodied, on the palate additional notes of mineral, blackberry, and chocolate emerge. Smooth textured, forward, and tasty, it can be enjoyed over the next 6-8 years. It is an outstanding value in Malbec.
JEAN BOUSQUET
Malbec Tupungato Valley Reserva 2006
Dark, with plum and fig notes, this has a brawny hint underneath, with briary tannins and notes of black licorice and fruitcake that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2008. 3,000 cases made. –JM
