man git-describe:

DESCRIPTION
       The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a
       commit.
[...]
       By default (without --all or --tags) git describe only shows
       annotated tags. For more information about creating annotated
       tags see the -a and -s options to git-tag(1).

If there is no such tag, it refuses to work.  Annotate your tags, or
try --always.
