Tasting - Codirosso Chianti

Name: Codirosso
Variety: 90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo, 3% Colorino
Region: Tuscany (Chianti)
Country: Italy
Vintage: 2015
Price: $3, on sale for $7.95

Shop Review: "A heck of a value in Chianti, this delicious blend of 90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo, and 3% Colorino offers up notes of licorice, new saddle leather, black cherry and berry fruit, loamy soil undertones and a touch of pepper and herbs. It is medium-bodied, savory and best drunk over the next several years."

My Review: I always look forward to the 3rd wine... the intro into the reds.  This wine smelled like angels on earth.  When I took a sip I was able to detect the hints of herbs and earthy undertones.  The flavor wasn't overwhelming whatsoever.  I'd go as far to say that this red wine was more on the bland side.
