Strong solid flavour. Full bodied, but not over powering. Consistent taste to the end of the bottle. GiftFromCarol. — 5 days ago
This was bloody marvelous last night at dinner.
18 years in bottle and it was singing. Perfect condition & around the top of its bell curve.
I have had now many older vintages of Felsina and have yet to be disappointed by any of them. One of the very best & consistent producers in Chianti.
Think I recently (6 months ago) paid $35 for this 05. Extremely great value. — 6 days ago
50% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 11% Petit Verdot. Refreshing on the nose with pink pepper and cypress berries aromas, which are reminiscent of the Mediterranean shrub. On tasting, the wine is elegant with a lovely acidity and an enduring and savoury finish. — 12 days ago
Merlot dominant with fruit, velvet tannins, and balanced acidity. — 16 days ago
At an Italian Restaurant on the Gold Coast having a nice pasta dish of Rigatoni with Lamb Shoulder. This wine by San Guido where their top Cuvée is the famous Sassicaia. This wine is 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Oak maturation is well balanced using a combination of new and used oak. The nose shows obvious Cabernet traits and shows again how suitable Bolgheri is to Bordeaux blends - plummy notes. A good match with the dish. A dry finish. — a month ago

Decanted for about 2 hours. Broken cork that seemed dried out and I couldn’t get out of the bottle. Filtered the wine into the decanter.
Wine had the classic Valdicava aromas that are unique and alluring. Almost like a Sangiovese / Cabernet blend and mix of dark fruit, cocoa. I can’t describe as much as I can always recognize it.
Wine was very good. Not the best expression of this wine but solid.
