Email I sent out:

Wine of the Day – Hugh Hamilton Sangeiovese Blend 2005 (85% Sangeiovese, 10% Merlot, 5% Tempranillo)

M

Nose: Dark chocolate coated cherries along with chocolate coated aniseed rings, a green field on a hot summer day (- lucrene hay before being cut) a small amount of menthol/eucalypt. A small amount of dark berries – blue and blackcurrant, but very subtle. Pleasant nose!

Palate: It’s fairly drying almost dusty – cherries and another sour berry are coming through – a little pomegranate juice (not the fruit, but the bottled juice). Does not go well with spicy food – the chilli nukes the fruit completely and you’re left with a somewhat tart almost vinegary flavour for the wine. (85 pts)
