    March 10, 2023 - Red fruit smell, peppery, bit of leather. Cherry syrup, menthol. High acid, medium body. Fresh fruit finish. Very good.

    August 23, 2022 - My last bottle - not bad, although this has never been my favorite vintage from Felsina. I wouldn't necessarily say it needs to be drunk up, but it also doesn't come across as a wine that will get any better with more time. Better on the nose, which displays more Chianti typicity.

    September 13, 2021 - Opened up nicely with dinner.

    July 30, 2021 - Okay wine from a so-so vintage. Still with decent acidity, but the fruit has faded a bit which leaves it slightly unbalanced - I see that there are still over 300 bottles in inventory, so if you have it, I would check out a bottle soon to see if you're okay with how the wine shows, as I would think there is a reasonable probability that the wine begins to become more attenuated over time if the fruit continues to fade.

    So call this drinkable but not exciting today, and I will definitely be looking to finish off my remaining bottle sooner than later.
