May 5, 2024 - Very good. It is time to drink it. I would say that the tannins are becoming too smooth. Don’t wait!

April 29, 2024 - From 75cl, perfect cork, decanted 1 hour, improved until final drop. Considerably fuller than Felsina's basic CC, this has added levels of spice, depth of red fruit and a nicely balsamic touch. Great value for the <23 EUR German retail price back in 2020. 90(–91)P

April 14, 2024 - PnP. Medium red. Lovely nose of cherries and Sangiovese spice. Smooth on the palate after some time in the glass. Drinking very nicely at age 8.

March 29, 2024 - Deep ruby color with dark fruit on the nose and palate. The tannins have started to soften and there is some spice and tobacco on the finish. Drank over 2 nights and it was better on night 2 indicating it has a long way to go.

March 17, 2024 - Still Somewhat tight and tannic. Too toothy without food, but went well with eggplant parmigiana. Could use more time
