Tasting - Terre di Poggio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Laude

Name: Terre di Poggio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Laude
Variety: Montepulciano
Region: Abruzzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95
Shop Review: "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: The wine was a beautiful deep red. It smelled very grape-y, with that plastic component again that I have been noticing in a lot of red wines lately. It was also spicy in its scent. The taste did not have too much tannic activity going on, a light mouthfeel, medium-bodied. It reminded me of Merlot so it was enjoyable for me. There was a dry finish, but it was still quite good. Was not paired with any food.
