June 20, 2008 - drinking good now, no need to wait any longre. Did I say $20 bottle which surely tastes like more expensive bottles.

May 23, 2008 - Very well balanced, subdued red fruit with a slight hint of licorice. The finish is long and the smoothness of the tannins is very very nice. What a delicious wine and great value.

May 7, 2008 - Yesterday we popped the cork of
2001 Fattoria di Felsina Berardenga Maestro Raro Toscana IGT
one of the best QPR Italian cabs I had lately, only $20 a bottle.
I didn't pay attention and only tasted the wine right before putting steaks on the grill.
To my chagrin, the wine appeared to be corked.
My wife didn't share my finding 100% and I pulled another bottle from the cellar, opened it and my wife performed the blind taste on me, using very little wine on the bottom of 3 glasses, and she compensated the difference of wine temperatures by warming up the glasses.
End result:
I ID'd 1 glass as corked and was correct,
I ID'd the second as corked and was incorrect
I ID'd the 3rd one as not corkked and was correct.
For the sake of the peace in the family I had to stick to the house rule of:
whatever is opened is finished the same day. -

April 23, 2008 - My first Italian Cabernet Sauvignon. Not Bordeaux, not California, the wine stands on it's own feet. No see thru dark red color, cassis on the nose. resolved tannins and long finish.
