  April 6, 2022 - Bought on auction recently. Bottle and cork in perfect condition. Medium to dark garnet colour, some fine sediment. Red fruit, dried fruit, cherry, prune, blood orange, earth, tobacco, hints of coffee and chocolate, spices, and cinnamon, with lively acidity, partly resolved tannin, and very good length of the lightly drying finish. Good structure. Classic, light Sangiovese rusticity, in a good way. Drinks very well. I liked it! Will not fall apart anytime soon, but will not improve any further either. Drink now.

  June 14, 2021 - A little musty at first, I was worried (I seem to have had a lot of corked Felsina from last century) but it wasn’t TCA, and whatever it was blew off. And it turned out to be better than I ever hoped. Rich black plum and cherry, saddle leather, earth, a touch of incense. Sweet and lush, drinking great. Big surprise was the last glass was still pretty good next day (I don’t think Sangiovese fares well in general with long exposure). At peak (hour after opening). A-
