8.1

I do not drink much Sancerre, so hard to gauge where this falls. It has a light refreshing tartness. Underripe pear, maybe lemon or nectarine. Slight minerality. Very easy to drink. — 9 days ago

8.0

Cocoa and dark chocolate notes with some jammy dark fruit flavor. Finish is clean and short. Some initial punch of fruit and a slightly smoky dry finish, but a pretty simple and tight wine. — 5 years ago

9.2

Ideal Chianti. Dry and pairs well with food, but also fruity enough to enjoy on it’s own. Notes of cola, cherry, and some vanilla. — 9 months ago

7.5

Enjoyed at the winery, but this bottle was quite thin in body and flavor. Light cherry and rhubarb notes. Drinkable and tasty, but a weaker wine. — 7 years ago

Some complexity for a light and tart wine. Some lemon rind and underripe apple. Some herbal notes, maybe olive and a slight numbing anise note. — 15 days ago

8.8

I like jammy wines and this is a satisfying one. Plum, cherry, and fig. It’s easy but not simple. Well-balanced. A bit of an anise finish. Slight savory note and enough tannins to round it out. — 18 days ago

Casanova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2016
