Vecchia Cantina
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese Blend
Montepulciano, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Licorice, dark fruits and tobacco. Structured w firm tannins -- this can definitely use decanting --- improved considerably w time in the glass. Had it with pasta, but think meat would be a better match for the tannins. Could also probably use more time in the bottle.

Beautiful color of dark ruby with a wide purplish rim.
Nice nose of blueberries, licorice, plums, earth, spices, peppercorn, cola, smoke, chocolates, alcohol, spices, herbs and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, pomegranates, earth, leather, pencil lead, vinaigrette, green vegetables, bitter herbs, animal notes and black pepper.
Medium finish with round tannins and spices.
This Italian red is drinking very nicely now. An above average red with a nice mouthfeel. A little tart and bitter on the ending, though.
A good food wine, enjoyable with foods like BBQ Meats.
Needs an hour to open up properly.
Wine Spectator 92 points. (I don't know about that...)
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Dried cranberry and cherry with pomegranate on the nose. Tart versions of them on the palate. Some balsamic and strawberries up in the mix. Very present tannins, seemingly med+ acid.

Nice and dry. Light to medium bodied. Makes mouth water (I believe due to acidity). Good table wine. Primarily Sangiovese.
