Tasting Notes - Brancaia Il Blue 2000

Region: Tuscany (Radda in Chianti)
Appelation: Chianti Classico

This wine, a merlot sangiovese blend, is a regular 3 glass recipient in Italian wine bible Gambero Rosso. Peaking now for my palate; dry, classically built with medium grippy tannin, savoury touches, and well balanced with some sweetness from the merlot. Finishes with nice tobacco leaf and cold tea notes. At full retail of $100 not good value but a sound wine nevertheless.
