Tasting - Terra del Giglo Chianti

Name: Terra del Giglo Chianti
Variety: Chianti
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $12, on sale for $6.95

Shop Review: This wine’s shy nose eventually reveals black-skinned fruit and a whiff of baking spice, while the palate offers straightforward plum and clove flavors. It's easy-drinking and has mellow tannins.

My Review: This wine had a strong berry and nutty aroma. I would even say there was a herb smell, almost like black peppers or spice. When I tasted this wine, I would say I could immediately detect a black cherry flavor with a bit of smokiness. I found this wine to be very tannic and not very pleasant on my palate.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
