This is Bousquet’s better 2006 Malbec because it doesn’t have the heavy-handed oak of the Reserva. Here you get a ton of ripe, clean fruit with secondary leather and earth aromas. The palate is lively as it hits with firm blackberry and plum flavors. Not complex but good in its simplicity. Imported by North American Beverage Group.——M.S.(10/1/2007)—— 87
