Tasting - Lavarini Valpolicella Classico

Name: Lavarini Valpolicella Classico
Variety: 65% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella, 10% Molinara
Region: Valpolicella
Country: Italy
Year: 2010

Critic's Review: "The red ruby color and dry taste give this wine joviality and cordiality.  It is fresh and fruity, with lovely strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, with nice spice and a silky texture."

My Review:  This ruby colored wine smelled fruity, especially like raspberries and strawberries.  However, the taste was not as appealing as the smell.  This wine had a nice dryness, but it was also tart and I could taste a lot of spices.  I would probably not drink this wine again, unless with food.

I tasted this wine without food.
