Tasting - Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva 2013

Name: Carpineto Chianti Classico Riserva
Variety: Red Blends
Region: Chianti Classico, Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $30.00

Winery Review: Smoky aromas introduce this succulent red, with flavors of black cherry, leather, earth and tar that show concentration and play off the vibrant structure. Drink now through 2028. - Wine Spectator, 92 pts

My Review: Extremely strong notes of licorice, dark berries and blackcurrant. Lots of tannins, a long lingering after taste and overall very bold.

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
