An impressive, rich expression of cab sauvignon. I've never had a cab from Felsina, but they clearly do a lovely job here. Even after merely 15-20 minutes it was showing really well. Dark fruit and violets on the nose. The palate is a bit chewy and rich with lots more dark fruit. Still significant tannins that give a zing.

Deep purple color. Very fragrant nose of vilolets and dark fruit. Cassis and dark cherry predominate the palate. Still very primary, but the tannins and acidity are medium. Very well balanced. Needs another 3 years at least before entering its drinking window. Then has a good 10 years after that. Excellent stuff.

Fantastic stuff! This was very nice. But I kind of feel that this wine is just starting to wake up. Pretty closed upon opening, but within 30 min revealed darker red fruits, leather, tar, smoke and eucalyptus. Tannins are still pretty dominant but after a few hours this comes together nicely. Great value. 2015 seems to be as legit as they say.

(Leon&Manu) 100% CS, kräftiges klares Rubinrot mit Purpur-Schimmer. Zurückhaltende Nase mit Cassis und etwas Paprika. Auch am Gaumen mild, fein fruchtig bei mittlerem Körper (nur 13,5%alc). Reife, weiche Tannine. Ein sehr sauberer, reintöniger Cab, sehr fein. Wohl am Anfang seiner Trinkphase.

A well balanced and excellent wine. A rare sensation these days. Oh, and especially at this price. Well done!
