Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec 2017
Luján de Cuyo, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThere’s more fruit ripeness here than Trivento's Reserve Malbec, veering into the blue fruit spectrum. There’s also a lot more oak, with abundant vanillin and smoke. Interestingly, there’s not the weight you'd expect from the fruit ripeness, with a surprisingly thin mid-palate leading to a tart, short finish. All in all, it's fairly disjointed, and the blocky, grainy tannins will need to be finessed at the dinner table.Tasted: 27 February 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
