 Tasted by Glenn Gilbert on 10/6/2017 & rated 78 points: 13% alcohol, imported by Aveníu Brands, Baltimore, MD; real cork, long legs, red/brown color, weak nose, taste is a rather boring red -- minerals, earth, little or no fruit, sides of the tongue uncover a little citrus, not over the hill (1045 views)
 Tasted by JC42 on 6/12/2017: needs to breathe. (988 views)
 Tasted by YoRi on 10/2/2015 & rated 90 points: Un Sangiovese bien mature type.
Couleur fraise écrasée, disque assez clair tirant sur le brique. Le vin est limpide et de faible densité.
Nez de figue séché, un peu de fumée et de cerise confite, subtil et agréable.
En bouche, l'impression de salinité surprend, combiné à un coté viandé, vieux cuir mouillé, sueur... (j'assume !). Persistance longue.

Rapport Qualité-Prix exceptionnel. À l'aveugle et sans plus d'information j'aurais évalué cette bouteille à plus de 40$. (1475 views)
 Tasted by manny651 on 11/13/2014 & rated 82 points: nose is pleasing, sour cherry and menthol. Palate is smooth, tart cherry, a bit like a poorly made cab franc, green stems. (1873 views)
 Tasted by Ombibulous on 10/4/2014 & rated 82 points: The colour is like a Pinot Noir, but not as crimson. The nose is not big, but respectable; then menthol and a little empty. On the palate, some fruit, at least at first; not much depth. Should be consumed with food. Overall value: 2.5 stars of 5. Overall impression: Good (82.5). (1888 views)
 Tasted by kenito799 on 12/9/2013 & rated 82 points: Decent chianti, dusty tart plum fruit with some tobacco notes. Short finish. (1582 views)
 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/3/2013 & rated 82 points: A little reticent on the nose, faint red plum, rose petals, dusty earth and a bit of dried tobacco. Medium-bodied on the palate, moderate acid and fine tannins. Flavors of sour cherry, red plum and raspberry jam, along with notes of cocoa powder and chewing tobacco. The wine falls off a bit on the finish. A simple, easy-sipping wine. (1786 views)

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
