Wine Tasting 03/01

Trivento Malbec

 This bottle of Trivento Reserve Malbec is from 2022, Trivento Winery in Argentina. I bought this one cause of the shiny gold badge that says No. 1 on the front of the label. I figured it had to be good if it was No 1.

What others said:

Floral nose with sweet black cherries and a hint of grilled spice. Fresh and fruity on the medium-bodied palate with some lightly grippy tannins. Simple but pretty honest. Nothing cloying here. Drink now. - 90 points, Zekun Shuai, James Suckling (Apr 2023) 

What I thought: 

Dominant dark fruit on the nose. Opened spicier than I thought with a nice body. Became more fruity as it decanted. Dry and tannic. I had it with a nice ham hock and bean soup that I made and it complimented the smokiness of the meal well
