Default TN: Rosso di Montalcino (a bit atypical)

With roast chicken, rice, and asparagus, the 2007 Casisano Colombaio
Rosso di Montalcino. I don't think I'd have picked this as RdM in 2
dozen guesses. Tangy cherries, high acids, with a slightly prickly
mouthfeel. A definite peppery note. I think blind I would have been
guessing lighter styled Loire red. Light bodied. With time the
prickliness (CO2?) subsides, there's a little lifted edge on nose,
seems to get a bit fuller. Betsy says strange, I say interesting. B-?

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an
excellent*wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I
wouldn't*drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I
offer no*promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of
consistency.**
