Stones, minerals, kirsch and subtle sweetness. It’s very open fruit and I’d swear that I noted some leather and Bordeaux flirting signs in it. The taste is wild with dark berries and the young contrast to the nose is striking as this wine has a lot of dry warm elements. It will gain many secondary notes in time. (93)

1997 Felsina, Chianti Classico Rancia, Tuscany, Italy
Talk about transformation –Rancia ’97 has always been a brutal beast – with Cabernet infected fruit, leather and even Bordeaux animalistic flirting. Now -Stunning nose – with raspberries, medicine, pencil, simply stunning clarity and complete and utterly divine Sangiovese definition. Taste is a combo between classic sangiovese dry bite – minerals, purity and Tuscan warmth. Drinking so well and have finally entered its drinking window. (94) Glass: Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux Grand Cru
