Oh Malbec..You came and you gave without taking.

A couple of days ago some girls from work and I organized a potluck dinner at my place and invited a bunch of people over. There was so much amazing food that I ended up with a few leftover dishes (which was fine by me). Everyone brought a bottle of wine so we had quite a few to taste (Also fine by me). My friend and boss, Neil, brought a bottle that we had purchased for him for his birthday called Trivento, it's a 2003 Malbec from Argentina.


When we opened the bottle that night I had already had a few glasses of different wines and had eaten way too much food to appreciate it. There was a glass of it leftover from the party so I poured it for myself with dinner tonight. It has some intense smells of chocolate and mint, it's very complex and has strong flavours of oak and cherries. It finishes off with some nice smooth tannins and a hint of mocha.

I'd like to find a dress in the colour of this wine, a deep rich inky colour with purple edges.

This is a beautiful wine and I recommend you try it.

Cheers,
Andrea
