Community Tasting Notes 3

  December 2, 2020 - Alas I must say this is a spectacularly poor wine.
  The scent is OK, mostly cooked fruits - simple.
  The taste... I don't know how many people would guess on a blid tasting that this is from Tuscany; certainly the quality... look, this is the quality you expect from the tetra-pak wines for 3 EUR a liter.
  Horrible.
  Avoid.
  
  And I can't help but notice that this is a repeat bad experience with Monsanto; they are on my black list from now.

  In the nose you will find herbs , and cherry.....on the palate it has both sour cherry and some liquorice , and overall for the price a super nice wine with i think will complement a pizza super good.....but dont have it too warm as it then becomes too mellow and velvety.

  December 7, 2019 - Decent chianti with a nose of red cherries, green vegetables and a little hint of vanilla. The taste is acidic and sharp and appears a little thin but yet with a decent amount of fruit. To me buying great wine equals that feeling of excitement when you put the wine away in your cellar and almost can't wait to try this wine again or show it to your friends/family. And this wine just don't give me that feeling at all. It just feels like "the butter between bread and cold cuts" and doesn't really do anything
