Trivento "Eolo" Malbec, Lujan de Cuyo 2018

95 Points Wine Advocate

The 2018 Eolo comes from a vineyard planted in 1912 on the banks of the Mendoza River, four hectares in Luján de Cuyo. It fermented with selected yeasts and matured for 18 months 50% in new French oak barrels and 50% in oak foudre. It’s a powerful Malbec with 14.5% alcohol, good concentration and balance and is a little closed and quite young. It’s aromatic and floral with sweet spices, classical and with typical Luján character. It continues on the path toward freshness initiated some years ago. 13,300 bottles were filled in November 2019.
