Jean Bousquet, Malbec Reserva 2008, another Tupungato´s son well made






Jean Bousquet, Malbec Reserva 2008, By Domaine Jean Bousquet, Tupungato, USD 12

Another high altitude grown grapes, this time from High Mendoza. Typicity shown clear. Nice black cherries and boysenberries with a toach of plum and prunes. Nice complexity with chocolate and some vanilla and toasty undertone too. Sweet and straight. What most palates will consider adorable. I´d say a 87 points malbec with very good price value. May be good to enjoy 4-6 years. I feel this much fruitiness as boring though like pushing over the top.
