Domaine Bousquet Ameri Single Vineyard Malbec 2019

Originally from Carcassonne in France, the Bousquet family comprises four generations of winemaking experience. Ameri is vinified from organic grapes sourced from selected rows in a Gualtallary vineyard at 1,200m. Alistair Cooper, MW: Powerful savoury aromas join sweet blueberry and cherry. Real structure, delicacy and poise from prominent but integrated oak and textured, clay-like tannins. Beautiful freshness on the layered finish. Amanda Barnes: With a bright floral lift and freshness, this is a juicy, vibrant Malbec that speaks of its cooler sub-region. Fresh red plums and wild herb notes add to the intrigue. A lovely wine with finesse and lots of energy. Dirceu Vianna Junior, MW: Restrained but intense nose of ripe dark fruit, chocolate, florals and spice. Excellent palate density, silky tannins, balancing freshness and a wonderful persistent finish. Drinking window: 2021-2030. Score – 95. (decanter.com, Dec. 24, 2021)
