Tasting- Monte Antico Tuscan Blend

Name: Monte Antico Tuscan Blend
Variety: SuperTuscan Blend
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2007
Price: $13.95

Vintage Cellar Review: 90 points, James Suckling. "Plenty of blackberry and chocolate character, with hints of plums. Full and very velvety with a bright and fruity finish. Always one of the best values in Tuscany. Screw cap. Delicious now."

My Review: This wine blend had an overpowering dry Chianti-like nose and taste. The tannins, although strong, were balanced well on the palate. A little too strong for my taste, but overall a great wine.

I didn't taste this wine with food.
