• Vintage Cellar Review: A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and chocolaty.
• My review: On the nose there is not much smell. By trying really hard I was able to detect a small hint of orange. There is a strong peppery smell that makes the orange smell. There is also a very weird acetone smell that makes me think this wine was getting to the point of turing bad. My intuition was right this wine was either beyond spoiled or terrible to start. It was a big nope on the palate and I had to pour the rest of my glass out. All there was on the palate was tastes of tobacco and pepper. This caused there to be a burning taste on my palate. The wine was also very dry and make me gasp for anything to get the taste out. I would never recommend this wine even if it was free. 
• Food Pairing: I had no food with this wine.
