I never would have guessed Felsina, or even Tuscany (though I have limited experience with Tuscan Cabernet Sauvignon), but this was very good. Richly fruited, well-balanced, deep middle and nice finish. I could see this as a ringer in a flight of expensive CaliCabs. Drinking well but no hurry.

I'd say drink up. There is still some tannin/structure in there but the fruit isn't going to live up to it much longer. Was hoping for more but it should still pair well with tonights NY Strip.

I think I was expecting more from this given that I am a big fan of Felsina Chiantis, but while this was very nice, it felt a bit flat especially from a solid year like 2010. Meat, forest floor, mushroom and cherry notes. Fairly well-integrated tannins and seemed ready to drink. Decent effort. Drink or hold 5+

Добротное Каберне, но вторую бутылку открывать не хочется, смущает хересная составляющая. В аромате доминируют хересные ноты. Полнотелое, во вкусе ч. смородина, и тоже ярко выраженные хересные тона, танины мягкие. Послевкусие достаточно длительное.

Gambero Rosso Roadshow (Sydney, Australia): Tomato leaf, blackcurrant and herbs. Medium bodied, with excellent acidity providing freshness. I really like the herbal note here, it's something I sometimes shy away from but I think this works!
