2019 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico
4/20/2024 - t_moderne wrote: 90 Points
Pop and pour and tasted over three days (not continuosly mind you).
Grassl Cru stem.
Nice purple garnet color.
Nose offers a little funk at first with some mushroom, cedar and sour cherry.
Good structure with the dark sour cherry fruit alongside some mushroom and soy notes. Fresh and zesty acidity.
Has some cedar and red clay notes as well.
I think this will improve with some bottle age to let everything mellow out and meld a bit better.
Branded cork without vintage.

Pop and pour. Grassl cru stem.
Lovely ruby color.
Floral nose of roses and then red berries with fresh wet earth and brown spices. Herbal whole cluster elemen too.
Nice red fruit profile with good spice accents. Red raspberries and strawberries with a touch of pomegranate.. Lovely floral perfume note coming on the mid-palate. Good mouth watering acidity on the finish.
Lively cool climate pinot.
Delicious.

2011 Hobel Wine Works Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Pop and pour. Tasted over two days with half of the wine saved in a 375ml bottle.
Dark purple color.
Nose of ripe dark fruit; slight hint of oak.
Wonderful rich Napa cabernet with good fruit and structure. Acidity to keep things in check. Nice depth to the wine.
Still shows primary fruit profile and not much in tertiary notes.
Walnut wood neck.
