Tasting- Castello Sonnino Chianti Montespertoli

Name: Castello Sonnino
Variety: Chianti Montespertoli
Region: Chianti 
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $15

Winery Review: A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and chocolaty.    

My Review: I thought this wine smelled strongly of alcohol. There were also hints of petrol and vinegar in the scent. I thought the taste was very dry similar to a leather couch. This was my least favorite wine, very nasty.
