Introduction

Anne brought the wines, I tasted double blind.

Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 2007 Ruffino Chianti 81 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Chianti

    Tasted double blind. Decanted for an hour. This was a quite light red with a violet tinge to it. Initially the wine was quite closed some pungent smells of red berries like lingonberry, but after sometime it opened up with more floral smells like violet. On the palate it had light tannins, was quite light bodied with good acidity and lingonberry, and with time became also quite floral in the mouth. On the whole this was not a very remarkable wine, an easy drinker. 50+4+9+12+6=81

  • 2006 Rosemount Estate Sangiovese 84 Points

    Australia, South Eastern

    Tasted double blind. Decanted for an hour. This was somewhat of a medium red with perhaps a hint of bricking. The nose was quite fruity with lots of plum and blackberry, a hint of rubber and whiff of licorice. On the palate it was quite sweet with some tannins and lots of dark fruits. A little bit of smoke and a slightly peppery as well. This was quite an enjoyable wine, I thought it had elements of a Rhone wine to it, and the sweetness made me think of Portugal, so I was surprised when it was revealed to be an Australian Sangiovese! 50+4+10+13+7=84

Closing

Two Sangioveses, one very traditional, the other from down under. A very interesting compare and contrast exercise!
