April 23, 2023 - Nice initial flavor but no finish so leaves you wanting.

March 28, 2023 - Great wine. Little drier than a Cab and not as fruity as a Pinot. Liked it a lot.

December 20, 2022 - Retail $18. 100% Malbec. Under cork. Kosher. The wine, perhaps as expected, is quite dark in the glass with dark, even brooding aromas of cassis, black plum, clove, black pepper, and a little bit of funk. The palate is quite rich, laden with fruit (the aforementioned black currant), zingy acidity, and perhaps just a smidge of heat on the finish (14.5%). I really do not drink a ton of Malbec and while it is rarely a go-to variety for me, Domaine Bousquet has shown that they do a fantastic job with what has become the signature grape for Argentina. Very Good.

April 5, 2022 - Mostly Mendoza Malbecs (Washington, DC): Vibrant purple color. The nose shows juicy red cherries and plums, with sweet cola and violets, a lot of fun on the nose. Smooth tannins, moderate acidity, with tart currants and spicy cranberries. An accessible style, fresh and fun, with notes of pepper, tobacco and some earthy vibes. Nicely done, fan-friendly stuff. Aged in 10% new French oak.
