Trivento Reserve Malbec (75cl, 13.5%)

A 100% Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina, produced by Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos. Fruit is sourced from vineyards across Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley. Twenty percent of the wine spends six months in medium-toasted French and American oak barrels, while the remaining eighty percent stays in stainless steel. The nose shows dark cherry, ripe plum, blackberry compote, vanilla, mocha, coconut and smoky spice. On the palate there are blackberry, dark cherry, raspberry and plum, with chocolate and baking spice, medium to full body and velvety tannins. The finish is smooth and lingering, with sweet tannins, dark chocolate and subtle oak char.
