Beautiful wine. Dusty tannins. Black cherry with faint herbs. Probably would benefit from a decant — 2 days ago

May 2025: PnP ready, classic Chianti expression, red fruit, integrated enough tannins. — 4 months 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.

Great, light brunello that opened up nicely even as young as it is. — 14 days ago

Decant and pour (lots of chunky/fine sediment). A striking purplish magenta color. On the nose: Alluring perfumed nose of dark cherry, worn leather, black olives, smoked meat, herbaceous, touch of brett(bandaids). Taste: velvety, creamy, savory, structured wine with dark plum/blackberry preserve, minerals, earth, chocolate espresso, leather, and a long lingering spicy tobacco leaf finish. YUM! — 5 days ago

Same wine I tasted 2.5 years ago. Yea, old me. It did need some time and now it’s singing. Damn. I may be convinced. Chocolate, some caramel flavors and oak presence in a good way. Okay. I’m convinced. 2018 — 18 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. — 20 days ago
