WTN: Broquel Malbec 2006

by Bruce Hayes » Tue Aug 26, 2008 7:00 pm

Mendoza
Trapiche

Very dark purple, almost black, in the glass.

Very smoky on the nose at first, later changing to herbs, berries and rich chocolate.

Smoky, fleshy blueberry and blackberry, good acidity, light to medium weight, moderate tannin, lightly perfumed, tobacco, menthol, intense and saturated, although I was surprised at how light bodied the wine was.

Tangy finish.

Purchased at $15.95 (Canadian).

Good price. Give it a year - we have had the Broquel in our group tasting several times & slightly older versions always show better than younger versions.
