2004 Da Vinci Chianti Classico

I'm a sucker for anything Da Vinci related, whether it's his writings or inventions, and so when I saw this I was interested.  This one is at 13% alc and is straight from Italy.  Here we go...

Look & Nose - Purple to red, deep in both colors.  I let it decant for ~ 45 min.  Sweet apple, pear, low tannins. 

Taste - The sweetness takes a backseat to a rich tannin profile, small spice, and the sweetness turns up in the aftertaste.  Not too strong.

Rating - 7
This is a great medium bodied wine, a good bodied red.  This one will impress anyone at your party.
