Trumpeter Rutini Wines Malbec 2015
Mendoza, ArgentinaDense and sweet vanillin fruit fills this full, fleshy, commercial malbec from Tupungato, in Mendoza. This spent obvious time in oak (30 percent new American, 30 percent new French and the remainder second and third fill American). Overt and powerful, with roasted coffee, pepper and toast, and lingering vanilla sweetness matched only by the potent oak on the warm finish. A bit too much of everything including some fuzzy tannins on the finish. Best with hamburgers.Tasted: 11 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:BC | $20.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
