Straccali Chianti 2003

[Chianti]

I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. — Hannibal Lecter

I had tried Chianti before and didn’t like it, but was willing to try it again. Unfortunately, I was disappointed again. The wine was rather thin and tart. But after briefly educating myself a very little bit more about Chianti, I suspect that this is simply a matter of taste. Chianti appears to be commonly blended with Merlot, something I’ve discovered that I do not have a taste for.

So for me, this wine was Not Good.
