Tasting - Castello di Lucignano Chianti Classico

Castello di Lucignano Chianti Classico
Name: Castello di Lucignano
Variety: 100% Sangiovese
Region: Chianti Classico
Country: Italy
Year: 2003
Price: $19.95

Winery review: Dark red. Violet, oak, spices and sweet leather. Good tannins, balanced, elegant and rich. Full wine, good length. - Bronze Award, Decanter.com

My review: This wine smelled of raspberries and clove but tasted of black cherry, black pepper, white pepper, and red currants. This wine pared well with a slew of pasta, hot Italian sausage in marinara, and garlic bread. I would enjoy this wine both with or without food.
