Trivento Argentina - 2015 Malbec Reserve (Label)

I looked this wine up on the internet and read the following evaluation: "Gorgeous nose exhibiting an array of aromas such as peppery mulberry, sour and black cherry, violet and a subtle touch of wild strawberry jam. The palate is full, complex, with a fantastic energy and bursting with ripe dark plums; tannins are impressively silky and freshness is amazing."

I did not drink any of this wine and cannot therefore offer any personal opinion beyond the usefulness of the empty bottle as a subject for photography. I nevertheless wonder how fermented grapes can smell like other fruits. I once heard Jilly Goolden compare some wine or other to petrol. I have tasted petrol when draining a rusted out tank on a Morris Marina and if some so-called wine expert thinks any wine tastes like petrol, they have never had a mouthful of unleaded.
