A tight yet juicy young red with blackberry, raw dark mushroom and bark aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a dense center palate and solid tannins. 61% merlot, 33% cabernet sauvignon and 6% malbec.

A blend of 61% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Malbec, the 2020 Bouscaut has a deep purple-black color and notes of warm cassis, stewed black plums and black cherry pie, followed by hints of tar, licorice and Indian spices. The medium to full-bodied palate is filled with juicy black fruits and ripe, rounded tannins, backed up by a lively backbone, finishing long and spicy.

Impressively dense and with ripe black fruits, this is a wine that wants to flaunt its power. Because of the attentive acidity and the freshness of the black plum skin flavors, the wine's richness is mitigated and balanced.

Solid, with a dark and winey core of black currant and dark plum fruit enlivened with a bramble hint, while black licorice and dark tobacco fill in as well. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.
