Trivento, Eolo Malbec, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, 2018

The 20ha Eolo vineyard was planted in 1912 at 983m in Luján de Cuyo. Appealing aromas of ripe black berries, mulberries and raspberries, dusted with chocolate and dried herbs, alongside a savoury character. Structured, elegant and lifted palate, with the concentration of old vine fruit and notable high-altitude freshness. Spicy black and red fruit; still tightly coiled around a dark, savoury core with fine tannins. Spending 14 months in French oak, with a further 12 months in bottle before release, this will certainly continue to develop if you hang onto it.
