GOLDEN RESERVE MALBEC 2012 Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
TRIVENTO |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, spicy, black cherry puree nose with lots of vanilla notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, well structured, extracty, juicy, roasted plums and black cherries with hints of cassis, vanilla, and mocha-chocolate followed by a lingering finish that shows good acidity. Great with BBQ ribs. Note that this batch (lot number 2014/12/18 on the back label) was bottled after the review appearing in the Vintages Catalogue. |

This wine was named a Judges' Choice at the 2014 World Wine Awards of Canada. TASTING NOTE: This Golden Reserve Malbec by Trivento is a juicy, dusty, fruit tree addition to the #WWAC14 flight and arrives just in the nick of time. Despite the dark fruit, it has no Drake spoken word conceit. It sings in classic Drake lullaby, with beefy meets pine forest aromas and so "you find that darkness can give the brightest light." Tender refrains soften chalky, stalky wood and corresponding bitter chocolate. Big tannins on this balladeer. Has impressive stuffing. Score - 90 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, Sept. 20, 2014) |
