Castello d'Albola

Le Ellere Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2008

This label looks eerily like the Ebola virus under a microscope. What of the juice? Dusty cherry, an Italian sausage melange, plumy-ness and cinnamon, and Romano cheese with Anchovy. Really smells like everything but wine. Hmmm. Cheesiness continues on the palate, Parmesan and artichoke. Crazy wine. I don't know where to begin. Holy crap! Garlic bread too? This feels like winemaker wine, but I am miffed. It is like a hot pocket in a glass. Not terroir right? Unless there are hills of undercooked dough in Tuscany. Weird wine. Not unpleasant if you want a snack after street skating. Tell your mom hi! #mealinaglass #cheesewine — 10 years ago
