Chrismont Craig's Hut Sangiovese 2005

Grapey sweet nose, fresh, a touch sugary but it ain't Sangiovese. Leaner on the palate, thankfully, but perhaps due to lack of fruit ripeness rather than genuine savoury Italian fruit structure. Tannin structure is quite impressive for a $10 wine - drying coal tea notes - shades of Bordeaux? Believe it or not! In aggregate not enough bright fruit for the punter at this price level.
