Kleur: robijn rood, helder, tranend. Geur: kersen, donker fruit met iets van eucalyptus. Een mooie neus. Smaak: donker, rijp, jamig fruit, van gemiddelde lengte. Prima wijntje.

Excellent Chianti in the newer style. Very fragrant, with cherry notes predominent. Medium color, nice mouthfeel, a bit on the light side. Very fruit-forward, smooth finish. Not a big wine, but clean and classy and drinking very well now. Will hold for several years. Perfect wine to wash down a slice of hot pizza on a cold day. Good value.

Medium Ruby Color. The nose is pretty expressive. It combines sour cherry, candied raspberry, subtle tobacco and a tomato sauce component. Underlying hint of rose petal. The palette is soft with the sour cherry, and tobacco flavors coming through. Light tannins but solid acidity. The finish is relatively short. This is pretty food-friendly and I could see this going well with classic Italian fare (Marinara sauce, Pomodoro, Pizza, Lasagna, etc.) Pretty good considering the price.

Strawberries and Cherries on the nose. Very fruit forward with flavors of cherries upfront. The fruit transforms into tobacco on the mid-pallet and finishes with a little black tea. Nice acid all the way through. The low alcohol and nice acid work well with our spicy BBQ sauce.

Medium red, light body chianti with a bit of a spicy nose. Plum start and cherry finish. Nice, nothing special, but plays well with a spicy pasta dish or pizza.

light to med garnett red. nose of farm fields upon opening, but this blew off in an hour to be a little floral and Cherry. Maybe some pepper, but overall a mild chianti. Servicable and clean, pair well with a variety of food.

I was prepared to like this (Felsina) but it's only average. Overall everything - aroma, flavor, palate - is a bit too light and elegant. The wine is well made, perfectly balanced and drinks fine but overall it seems like something is missing. Good in a light easy style. Will improve in the bottle.

nose: nice dark plum tones with cherry, smoke, and herbs. nice pungent and classic chianti nose
taste: good soft cherry hits right up front with some dark plum, smoke, ash, and herbs
overall: an excellent chianti. Really showing the strength of the 2006 vintage. Classically styled with smooth and silky flavors that give off a nice soft cherry attack and turns into a dark plum and ash finish. Well worth buying for everyday drinking and is insanely enjoyable

Mørke modne bær. Røde bær. Kirsebærpreg. Fokusert. Litt tørr avslutning med god ettersmak. Ok lengde. 85-87p. God vin til den prisen.

Federal Wine and Spirits Tuscany Tasting: More acidic than the earlier wines. Cherries and other red fruit. Definitely a bigger frame and body. More tannic.
