Holding up nicely. Well balanced, nice length, tannins have softened it, rustic. Slightly downgraded due to the price, would have expected just a little more.

The nose promised more than the palate gave. Attractive but quite subdued aromas on the nose of red fruit, tangy minerals with an underlying roundness. However the palate showed less body (medium/light), less density and less tannic backbone than most vintages of this bottling. It was nevertheless elegant and lively with attractive albeit not very dense fruit and the right level of acidity. Just good but I was hoping for more.

(FELSINA CHIANTI CLASSICO) #4; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-very complex, little muddy boulder, hint of hot chocolate powder, nice; TASTE-substantial body, really rich, thick layers of flavor, completely cover palate, BUT flavor is uninteresting & one dimensional, standard Chianti (raspberry, cedar box, cinnamon); a cheap box of chocolate w/ raspberry inside; GV-85

Drinking great, a mix between a Brunello and a Barolo in style. Great acidity, very dry, plenty of old school tertiary notes.

Fully mature but not tired to my tastes (or Betsy’s) , black cherry and leather, some dried rose petal, good acids, tannins resolved. B+
