Trivento 2005 Golden Reserve Malbec (Mendoza)

Country: Argentina / Mendoza Province
Variety: Malbec
Winery: Trivento / Golden Reserve

An intense, forward style of Malbec. The nose oozes a mixture of mint, black-fruit extract and shoe polish, while the saturated palate is racy and just rich enough; the flavors of blackberry and plum are lively with coffee and mocha accents on the finish. A bit acidic and racy, but that won’t hurt it if served with food.
