Tasting - Terre di Poggio Laude Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Name: Terre di Poggio Laude Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety: Montepulciano
Country: Italy
Region: Abruzzo
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95

Tasting Notes: This opens with dark aromas of leather, tobacco, cured meat, plum and prune. It shows soft tannins and loads of dark fruit on the finish.

My review: This full bodied Italian gave off pleasant aromas of licorice, plum, sweet licorice, and tomatoes.  The finish was slightly tart and somewhat off balance because of the heat.

I had this wine without food.
