Trivento Reserve Malbec 2021 (Argentina)

Description

• Toasty oak
• Red berry fruit
• Milk chocolate
• Vibrant finish

"Given the volumes involved, the quality and consistency of this wine are remarkable. In fact, this may be the best vintage yet. Very lightly wooded, it’s an equal blend of grapes from Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, with violet and rose petal perfume, fine tannins, tangy black cherry and blueberry fruit and a vibrant finish" Tim Atkin, Argentina Special Report 2022

"A lovely juicy attack of dark cherry, combined with cured meat, thyme and toasty oak, it's fruit-expressive on the palate offering silky texture and supple mouthfeel. It's bold yet smooth with a lengthy succulent finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2023

"Great colour and bouquet with aromas of black cherry and a mix of red berry fruits, there’s a white smoke and mineral quality with a steel then violet suggestion and mild milk-chocolate idea. On the palate - warm, fruity and youthful, flavours mirror the bouquet with mix of tart and ripe fruits, plums and dried spice with a light-weight mineral-earth quality. Well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2024+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jan 2023

This carmine-red Malbec with violet tones expresses aromas of fig, plum and raspberry with elegant notes of vanilla from the oak contact. Balanced profile with sweet tannins and a velvety finish.
